    Dear Mary Lu and Timmy, Molly and Billiy,

    I just heard about Dick from an e-mail from Rosa.

    I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your husband and father.

    Mary Lu, I DO know your pain and I know it is a journey that we must take….. as hard as it is to endure. Please know that you can call me ANYTIME, and I mean that sincerely.

    Dick was a wonderful friend and I will never forget the great times we all had on Carlisle St

    I am sure he and my Dick are getting reacquainted again………..the Heavens will be rolling with their antics!!

    I love you all………know that you are in my thoughts, even though I cannot be there

    With love, friendship, and prayers,

    Connie Newman
