Richard A. ""Dick"" Trainer

Dear Ann, I learned of Dicks passing just yesterday. Although I did not know Dick and his family well; the two or three times we were all together were memorable.
Ann please accept my heart felt condolences during this time of your loss. The Holidays Season can be difficult during the grief you are experiencing. God Bless

I was about to mail off a condolence letter (which I'll still do) to the family of my Ol' Cuz, Dick, when "something" prompted me to check online for his obit -- it's a very nice one, BTW. Dick and I had been sending forwards back and forth lately, and I'll miss adding him to my list. But what a way to go! No lingering in some yucky bed all strapped down to this and that. Quick and easy! If I took off in that way (walking on the street), it could be said that I died with my boots on. I love to walk. :-) Maybe "RAT" did likewise. After all, he had his beloved dog with him at the time too. Rest in peace, dear cousin...you were like another brother to me.

Prayers and love to you Aunt Ann, Melissa, Scott and your families.

Our hearts are filled with sorrow for the loss of Rick, our brother-in-
Law. We had many good times going to operas and concerts and just joining in outdoor fun. Such as the infamous canoe trip on the st. Croix. We so want to be there but due to physical problems a condition prevalent at our ages unable to do so. We love my sister unconditionally and our hearts and tears are with her. We will pray.
