Many fond memories of Aunt Betty, Uncle Dick and the rest of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
Sorry for your families loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear of Dick passing. He and Betty were our neighbors on 3rd Ave. We won’t be attending his memorial service as we live in Sacramento California now.
Sorry for your families loss.
