Ryan, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. Dustin and Brian just lost their Dad also on July 4. All of us are thinking about you. It’s hard to let go but remember all the good times you had with your Dad. If I can do anything for you let me know. Call me sometime… Love,. Diana
Ryan and Family,
I hope you still check this. I am so sorry for your loss. When I moved here 20 years ago your dad took me under his wing. Now some will say that wasnt the best deal, but I disagree. Man he knew how to make you feel good about yourself and smile. Yeah we all do things wrong, but he did it in a good way. I will miss him, but I know he is wheeling and dealing somewhere. When I lost my wife 2 years ago Rick was one of the first to call. I will always remember he was a little man with big dreams. Dont forget ‘God loves your heart’.
Best regards,
Steve
Boy it sure is good to find these words. I hope you are good
To Rick’s Family: I was so shocked to hear of Rick’s death and my prayer is that God will give each of you a peace that passeth all understanding during the difficult days ahead.
A long-time friend of the family.

Ryan and Family,
I am so sorry that I could not be there but I am thankful you were there and able to be with him some before the Lord took him home. You may not remember me, but your great uncle Bob and I were around you a lot when you were little. Would love to see you and am so glad Cheryl, Halie, Noah, Louise and Robert were there for you. You and your family are and have been in my thoughts and prayers, with love, Retha
