Coach Weldon and Miss Deannie,

I met your Dickie at LR High. Those were such simple times. Dickie and I were good friends and had so many wonderful, mutual friends. I was thinking of Dicky this past weekend, not knowing that the Lord and called him home. I have nothing but great things to remember about our times at LR (Go Diamond Hornets), our crowd was really a great group of fun loving folks. I will never forget his laugh. What a character.
May the Lord keep you close in His arms during this holiday season, Blessed be the Lord.
