Dear Family and Friends,
I'm sorry for your loss. I just wanted to leave you with an encouraging scripture that has helped me deal with the loss of a loved one. It is found in the Bible Book of Palm 34:18 here God assures us that He is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit.
Carolyn, Mike, Sue and Karen, I feel very blessed to have had Dick for my cousin. Dick and I spent many summers out at our Grandparents farm, we often talked about the things we did. We both loved our Grandma Edquist who taught us about her strong faith and how to love unconditionally. Dick once said to me I know you think your Grandma's favorite but ( "I was") , their were seven of us grandchildren and she made all of us feel like we were her favorite. What I remember most and loved about Dick was his sense of humor. Dick was in our Wedding party and I still remember what he said to me before I walked down the aisle, (you look great what are you waiting for). He was so nice to talk to when I would call even when he wasn't feeing up to par, he never felt sorry for himself. Dick was a very good man and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Love Joanne
So many fond memories living next door to Dick and family. A man with great story telling skills.
