Dear Dave and Rick,
I was doing a search of our family and by happenstance, came upon your Mom's obituary. To say I was taken aback is truly an understatement. I don't believe, no I'm sure, that my Mom isn't aware of it either. I know it will come as a jolt to her as well.. In any case, you have my deepest sympathies. Your Mom and Dad both were such incredibly sweet people and how I always the enjoyed the incredible coziness and pleasantness of your home on Diedrick Rd.(sp??). I do hope you both and your families are well. Sincerely, Buddy

David and Ricky,
A long time ago I was your babysitter. Your mother and father were so nice. I always liked alverna's cookies at Christmas.Paul made a doll cradle for our daughter it was beautiful.
I was also your newspaper girl. I doubt you remember me? I lived across the street on diedrick road. I use to see your mother when I wouod visit my mother. Ann. Your Mother was so proud of you. She kept me up to date on your marriages and the births of your children. I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mother was really very special person.
With Deepest Sympathy. Patty Teter Fischer

Hi Rick & David,
I am sorry that I just learned of your Mother's passing. She sure was a wonderful friend and neighbor. I still remember the time she took care of me when I was about 7 and stung by yellow jackets.
Sincerely,
Don, Carol & Family

Rick and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Alverna. She was always so terrific to me when I lived in Florida and they had their condo in Dunedin. The dinners she cooked for Laz and I are not forgotten. She was one very hospitable and caring lady. Our deepest sympathies, Jeff, Diane, Becca, Sarah, Zack and Lexi
