Dearest Phylis, words can not express the sorrow I feel for you and your family. I truly Loved talking at length with Dick, while he waited patiently for your hair appts. He was & is a Real family man. The stories he shared, and the laughs we had, will be forever tresured in my memory. If I have 1/3 the marriage I will be blessed. I wish you all the best through this very rough time. What a terrific man, as a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle& friend. Goodbye,and God Bless. Love & Prayers Christie Remington
