We were so sad to hear of Dick's passing but happy that he's passed into Glory. We will be praying for you, Barb, and all the girls and their families. God bless you all and we know that you know of his current happiness! That always helps me when I miss my parents - then I immediately switch to remembering a happy memory and it feels better.

I remember his quick smile and easy laugh, biking with the MYF and Betsy riding in the seat on the back of his bike and kissing him on his back as they rode. My prayers are with you.

Dear Barb, all my girls & families:

Heartbroken to hear of Dick's passing...was so sad when you left for PA but happy you were going to be so much closer to the family & I'm sure they were too....have missed his smile & DEFINITELY those hugs that helped so much especially after Charlie left for his heavenly home....
Am keeping you close in heart & prayers & praying for strength & peace for you all...one thing I DO KNOW is that you have lots of great memories to draw from as I remember you girls through all the growing up years in Sunday School & Jr choir...loved you then...love you now & ALWAYS....
Barb, you've always prayed for so many others for so many years & I know you believe in the power of prayer so I WILL keep praying for you as you walk thru the difficult days ahead...Dick was a great guy in many ways...loving, caring, supportive of humanity, & great taste as he chose a wonderful, Christian gal to share his life...so much fun being in your presence at church or the suppers, at the store or just plain ANYWHERE.......may our Lord surround you with His loving arms & hold you safe forevermore until you are reunited with Dick one glorious day..
Luv & Blessin's, Chris
& All of the MacKenzie Clan
