Dear Cristie,
Dick was a super guy and friend, I will miss him and will miss hearing from him. He was so suppoortive regarding my lung transplant. I am so sorry, as he was way
too young.

Hi Cristi and family,
So sorry to hear about Dick. He was a wonderful man. I really appreciated that you folks came to visit my mom and I when we were staying in Rocky River after her lung transplant. You were both incredibly supportive to her.
I will always remember the care package for us and the wonderful chocolate cheesecake "treats" from Max's Deli when you came for lunch. What a treat! We were discussing our chocolate "addictions". It was fun to hear about how he enjoyed the Cleveland Caveliers, his cat and his chocolate!
You folks are wonderful people. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you work through the grief of losing this wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Wish I could be there to support you, but know that my mom and our family are supporting you from afar. God bless and take care, Lori
