Dear Dorothy and family,

When I met you and eventually Dick, I realized how blessed you were to have such a beautiful relationship in your marriage. Dick was so easy- going, caring and supportive of whatever you were doing. You were involved in so many things and yet you were loving and caring about Dick. I prayed almost continuously for his recovery. Your beautiful life was indeed a gift from God. God saw that Dick was tired and brought him HOME. I pray that God will give you the strength and courage to face the many challenges that are ahead. Prayer and your family's support will make you strong.Please take care of yourself.

Your husband would want you to do that. If ever there is anyway I can help you, please call me. I feel very privileged to have known you.

My deepest sympathy to you and your beautiful family. Marian Ruth

Our deepest sorrows for Aunt Dorothy and family. Words cannot express how we are so saddened by Uncle Dicks passing. However, knowing that he is with his maker brings peace to it.



Uncle Dick was the best at making Manhattan cocktails. One day we'll meet and share a drink together. Dana

Dear Family,

Our sadness and sorrow binds us together now, though our love binds us forever. I will sorely miss the essence of my Uncle Dick. He was a fine example of what integrity is all about. -Mary
