Dear Craig and Cherie,
I was so sorry to read that your father had passed away. I lost my Dad last August and it is never easy no matter the age or the illness. I will pray for your family that God will grant you his peace. My best to you all.

We were so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We know he will be happy with Marge in heaven.

We are sure he is using his powerful singing voice to sing praise to God and the angels.

Our deepest sympathy. Alice and Jack Schuldt
