Even though I haven’t seen you in years, I think of you and Richard often.
Maybe some day Richard we can get together and talk about the “good old days”
Tiny and Sharon, I was so sorry to see you had lost your mom, and so soon after losing Sandy and her son. It seems like yesterday I saw you for the loss of Sandy. Very hard for you girls, I know you will be a comfort to each other and to your Dad. Please know I am thinking of you and your family during this most difficult time.
Dick and Family, I am so sorry for your loss of a beautiful lady.
I have thought of her so many times and the laughter we had when
we were all younger.
