My deepest sympathy to all of Dick & Joanne. What a difficult and hard time to loose both of them in a very short time of each other. May you always remember the good times and find peace that they are in a better place without pain. I had the opportunity a few times to meet both of these fun loving people through Brantley family events. Dick even attended my Mother’s memorial service in September 2008. He was so thoughtful and encouraging even though he had just lost his wife the month before. What a huge heart to extend his condolences when he himself was grieving. May God bless and keep you, to the family who is left behind, until the day you will see them both again.
Sincerely, Glenda Sites

To Diana, Mike, Deb & Rich,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.  I can sympathize with you and know that it’s so hard to lose your parents so close together.  But have peace in knowing that they are together again, in a better place.  May God grant you comfort.
Your Cousin,
Joyce (Mowrer) and Ralph
