Judy,
I am so sorry for your great loss and your families. We all enjoyed some good times together. Shared some great memories. My prayers are with you (Judy)and your family. It is not easy but with our Good Lord and Friends we can make it another day. Jerry and Dick were the best of friends, my grandson ( Joshua Pacillo) from Winona just called to inform me of Your (Our) loss he was their little side kick when growing-up. He was all broken-up about your loss. Know I love you and Our Lord Jesus Christ loves you too.
