I am your sister from the same mother and father. The attributes which were mentioned by many before, during and after your memorial service were a part of you all of your life. Your love of God and life, your generosity and humor were not lost during your years of addiction. Often, you were taking care of someone along the way. You never lied to yourself or others about your shortcomings and poor choices. And, the people who have known you all of your life and not just 10 or 12 years know that we, as a family, were set an example of how to live our lives by our parents. To live in faith, with tolerance of the differences in others and to share what we have with good will. Dickie, you exemplified those lessons. I will miss you always. But, I thank God for Billy, Nancy, Gayle and Bobbie, my other brothers and my sisters of the same Mother and Father. Above all else, we always knew that we were loved.##imported-begin##Nadine##imported-end##
