Dear Barb and family,
Dick and Barb were childhood friends of my husband, Gary. They came into my life and we all shared such good times, playing cards, traveling, and just getting together at each other house. Dick and Barb were always special to me. Even thou we did not have the gathering as much after Gary passed, they still were in my heart. Barb if there is time you need a shoulder to lean on please call me. Sorry for your loss. Your Friend, Joyce Reagan
My condolences to Dick’s family.
