I got to know Dickie when I volunteered at the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital. She was always full of love and cheer. Her positivity rubbed off on all she was involved. Her family was truly blessed. I am grateful for having to spent time with her and to know some of her family members. My prayers are with all of you for strength, and peace during this time of loss here on earth. Carol
