Having just spent a wonderful weekend renewing our friendship with both of you, we were shocked to hear of Irene’s illness. Over the years we don’t always make the time to spend time with people we care for and we enjoyed the time we spent with both of you. We were so impressed with what a loving and giving couple you had both become, but especially the way you both reach out to others in your lives. I can see by the tremendous support on this website that you have both touched the lives of many people. What a wonderful testament to both of you. Ron and I are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Irene…you are an inspiration. Dave…we admire your love and strength. We love you both.  Ron and Debbie Richards
