granddaughters, Anna Gail Richardson (Trevor), and

Our Moms #1 happy was her family. Her other joys

were playing cards (especially to beat her son Wes),

working crossword puzzles, watching Jeopardy and

Wheel of Fortune, getting her toenails painted and

dancing.

Our Dads happy was music and dancing! He very much

enjoyed working in the yard and growing things. Mostly

he loved being outside, going to different events,

anything where there was music playing, and very

warm sunny days.

Our parents who were also snowbirds left Central, OR each winter for Yuma, AZ. They had a lot of fun times with their extended family of friends they had developed over many years there. Keep on dancing! To all the friends everywhere, our family is grateful they had you.

Our hearts are heavy. Our memories plenty and now

cherished. This is not the ending we'd hoped for but

they are together (now). May they have peace and be

restful. Enjoy the love and laughter with friends and

family again, who had passed before them. And listen for Leo because he might want to have some conversations with you both!

Our wish is for Mom and Dad to dance on every star

and shine bright so we all can see you. You're on

Grandpa, show all the youngsters how the chicken

dance is really done. Have fun Pop!

To both- just know your family loves you to the moon

and back. Our hearts hurt but we know you are okay

and we will miss you every single day!

With love from all the kids and family.
