Still missing you, loving you and looking forward to the day when we will be together again. We can finish those songs we started together. Thanks for being my friend, my mentor and my cheerleader.

It is so difficult to find find adequate words, but I would like to express my deepest condolences for the loss of your mom; Lawrence & Joe. She was a wonderful spirit, a great sister and a super aunt. She will never be forgotten because too many people were affected by her presence.

You all (our entire family), are in my prayers. Hopefully the healing process won't be lengthy and the focus can be on her contributions in life and not her passing.

Remember; Our loss is God's gain, she's in good hands and kicking it with Faye.

Love, Dickie and family

To Lawrence, Joe, and My family --- Though we never understand or can ever find words to express in times like these, the one thing I KNOW without a doubt is God does NOT make mistakes. He is in control of everything, even when we choose not to believe that. My prayers are with us as a family and each of you individually. May we find strength in knowing that this did not catch Him by surprise, but that he is STILL in control. We all must go this way, Auntie Margaret has kept her appointment with God, we too must meet Him, it is up to each of us to be ready. We don't know the time nor the place, but we do have another chance because of His love. Teri
