Yesterday
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you with the passing of your husband/father. Dick & my dad worked at Meadow Pride Dairy, when I was a kid and I remember Dick & Kay visiting our family when we lived in Boalsburg. Later they both ended up at Rockview and I am sure they both had many stories to tell from that experience. Stay strong at this time of loss and reflect on the many good memories he created for all of you.
