Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.
I have many memories hanging out with Paul and Dickie as a child. The most memorable were our trips to Indian Cove camp ground. One of the funniest was going fishing with Paul and Dickie at Indian Cove. We rented this tiny boat and I caught a pretty nice size cat fish by its whisker! Dickie tries to remove the hook and almost looses a finger. This is only one of the funny stories. Rest in piece Dickie.
Linda, we love you and your family. Please know we are praying for you. May God flood you with his presence and grace.
My prayers are with you all at this time. I think at one time Dickie was in Pete’s Sunday School Class. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you all. Love you!
