Dear Lynn and Dick, I am so very sorry to just learn of your Mom's passing. We were out of town for a wedding in Boston and I just read her obituary. She was so much a part of our lives for so long and I'm so sad that we lost contact with her over the past years when she could have really used a friend after your Dad passed. She was one in a million, and during our MADD years together, she was so encouraging. When Stacie was just a toddler, there was no other place she wanted to visit except your Mom's house. She was the grandmother Stacie never experienced. Cherish all the beautiful memories and special stories they used to tell. Love, Sandy, Bob and Stacie Troutman

Dear Judy & Dick -
I am so sorry for the loss of Dick's mother. What a beautiful obituary; she must have been a very special lady.
I'll be out of town this weekend so won't be able to attend the memorial service, but my prayers and thoughts will be with you.
God Bless!
Fondly -

Dear Dick,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Mother's death. I still remember seeing Bill and Marcie at the Big Bear deli and Bill declaring that that was their favorite restaurant. Tony
