Sherry how thoughtful of you. Who would have thought that you would know so far away. It means a lot to me to think that you care. It is a very difficult time. Thanks for caring.
Shirley, I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad, Dick Kousgaard, and your husband, were best friends back in there high school days. I hope even after this late acknowledgement, you still get this message. I have a story to share with you outside of this website if you wish to connect. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Richard I would love to hear the story. Call me anytime; we are in the book
