Dick and I (Carolyn Craine) were together eight years. We spent winters in Ormond By The Sea, Fl. We had many friends there and in Ohio. We loved to have parties. Dick was hospitalized on July 23, 2019 and then was transferred to The Grand . I went to be with him everyday. He came home on Dec. 23, 2019. I cared for him until he passed on May 14, 2020
We were blessed to have those 5 months at home together. We loved each other and enjoyed life. I miss him. Carolyn Craine
