Helen, I am sorry to hear of your loss, I had intended to stop by and visit with you both last summer and didn't get that done. I did enjoy those times I saw you both in recent years.   I bet Dick is driving a brand new Oliver up in heaven right now! May the Lord be with you in this time of loss! God Bless, Dan Foos

Dear Helen and family,
This is such a loss for all of us. Dick was such a man of God sharing his light of Christ with everyone he met. My favorite memory is riding in your truck on the way to church. Dick's booming voice joined the Statler Brothers as we went our merry way with precious Helen quietly smiling.
Please be assured of my prayers in the coming days and moments. God bless you all.
Glena

Thinking of you Helen,  Remember how whenever we met he would remind me that our dog, Spitzie, bit him when we were kids running and playing.  He was probably waiting for a haircut while his mother was getting her hair done and we kids were having fun running races.  God bless you.
