I am saddened to read about Aunty Themlma's passing. Uncle Dick and Aunty Thelma were long time family friends. Uncle Dick and my Dad fought together in WWII and remained good friends ever since. I have many wonderful memories of our families getting together for picnics, beach outings and parties. Uncle Dick and Linda and family, please accept my sincere condolences.
