Uncle Dick you will be missed your strong hand shake, your funny jokes. You always made me and and the family feel at home. When I think of you its always with a smile. They don't make men like you anymore. Sharron and Denise I'm sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Father I ask for your Strength & Spirit to hold Gary and Sharon and their family at this most difficult time , I pray God's comfort and Grace to be over you. I pray our Fathers peace to be on your hearts and in your home and to hold you at this very moment. Rev.21:4 God will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or Mourning or crying or pain! I hold you in my heart and thoughts be blessed.
