To one of people who helped me to become a nurse. Who stood by me at Save More Foods, who became a close friend. Thank you for sharing your house in Minnisota with my family. Many memories I will treasure forever. I will never forget you Dick. You will be missed! My condolences to Pat, David and the rest of the Family.
Love Angela Sajdera
