God Bless. Me

Bill and David:

I'm Sending Prayers to you as you grieve the loss of Rick.

I lovingly referred to Rick as "bed room eyes." When your parents were trying to get Rick and Beth McClure together, Mrs. Sigmon asked me did I think Beth would like Rick. I told her one look in those gorgeous "bed room eyes," Beth would be lost. Your Mom was a little startled, but Commissioner Sigmon hooted.

That was Rick's name for me and it would always bring a big grin to his face as he tried to get me to stop calling him "bed room eyes."

There's a special place in my heart for the Sigmons. Today, I grieve with you.

God's Blessings to you both and to all those you hold dear.

Love,

Dottie Fisher
