Dear Aunt Ruby, Rheta, and Ricky - I am so sorry for your loss, and want you to know how many great memories I have of Uncle Dick throughout the years... He loved to tease me, and when he relaxed and smiled, he lit up the whole world. For these memories and so many others, I thank him for being in my life.
Love, Sandy Vetter

Dear Ruby, I am so sad to hear of Richards passing. He was a good and kind person and I will miss him so much! I know how sad you are and want to tell you what a good caregiver you were to him. I know it has been hard for you taking care of him but you did so with such grace always putting Richard first and helping him to maintain the dignity that is so important to a person while fighting illness. May you and your family have peace in knowing Richard is now out of pain and in a wonderful place. Love Susan Harrison CSL/Lawrence
