We were friends from Wesley Memorial UMC in Cleveland, TN. Everyone was saddened when they moved to Athens because they were so involved in the ministries of the church in Cleveland and missed them dearly. Dick introduced me to Bishop Hill, Illinois, for which I was always grateful. Rest In Peace, my friends!
