Dear John, Rick, Patty and Mary,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this sad time. I was so glad to have had the opportunity to kiss and hug Uncle Dick and to see all of you on my last visit to Illinois. Our time together was too short.

Dear John, Rick, Patti and Mary,
I can't begin to tell you how very special your dad was to me. I will miss talking to him at the dinners at Rick and Laura's house. He was always such a pleasure to be around, as are all of you. I always envied how close and loving your family is. What a great tribute to your mom and dad. I hope you find strength and comfort in eachother, as well as through all of us that care so deeply about all of you.
All my love,
Eileen
