Arlene and Diane,
My prayers for comfort and peace are with you. Our families have shared much together. Riding the school bus with Diane and Steve and church. Arlene ,you were a great friend to mom and I would hear often how you and Richard were the longest married couple attending. I am so glad I was able to talk with you and Richard in church in May.
Arlene and family,

Arlene and family, I just came across this by accident. So sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you guys for sure. I’m gonna miss getting ribbed by Richard at he cemetary on Memorial weekend. He always made me feel so good. I loved his sense of humor!
Arlene and Diane,
We’re sorry to hear about Richard’s passing. I thought a great deal of him and remember our association together with the Foster 4-H Club years ago. God bless you both, and we wish you peace and comfort in his arms.
I am so glad I knew him. What a great guy. To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is to never die. You are all nestled in my thoughts. RIP, Richard.
