To my dear cousin-in-law, Dick. I will miss your kind wit and your superb knowledge of all the old songs that we enjoyed singing. You are a special man who will be missed by many. I am at peace as you join your precious sweetheart, Peggy, who left almost 6 years ago for you to finish up your journey on earth and join her once again. Good night sweet prince.
