  1. Dear Rick & Crystal, Mark, Suzanne & Jerry, Chris & Marie, Alison & Brad,
    So sorry for your loss. Robert and I send our love and prayers.

  2. Being my cousin, Dick was a great part of my childhood. After he and Janet left to live in California we lost contact, but I knew he was still there. Although I didn’t see you very much, I will miss you and will continue to pray for you. God bless you.
