Aunt Beth, Ellen, and family,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Dick. Have so many memories of your sweet family and him at family gatherings. Praying for comfort and peace as you go though your difficult day tomorrow, and I hope to see you all soon. So sorry that I’ll be unable to attend tomorrow, but praying for you!

Uncle Dick was my second Dad. I will always remember his laugh! He loved everyone and loved being surrounded by people, especially to share a good meal or listen to Bluegrass music. And let’s not forget how much he loved riding his tractor. I have so many fond memories and will always love you. You will be missed by many.
