"I wish we could have been there. My heart is with you and my prayers go to all of you. He will be missed and rest assured that heaven must be a great place with all who have gone with him. It is comforting for me to think that Dad is with Dick and that they must be farming in heaven. Now they have Darrell with them. Take care of yourself and I hope to visit in the future. Jeri and family."
