Joan: Sorry to hear of Dick's passing. May you hold tight to the many memories that fifty four years of being together brings. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers as you carry on your lives without him.
May you have pride in the things he did, and the things he accomplished, and may they bring you comfort during this most difficult time. I know you'll miss him.
