To the Freeman family,
Sandy and family, Walter and I were to shocked to hear of the passing of Dick. We have fond memories of "working out" next to you in the gym and having discussions about world events, and discussing books with Sandy. I am sorry we are unable to attend the services. I have had several surgeries and we are both limited in our mobility, Cheryl has not driven in four years. We hope to speak with you in the near future. For now "G-d bless and be well."
