I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was at the Corder home a year or so ago and we had a very nice visit. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
I am glad that I really got to know my relative and neighbor since moving to the farm 10 years ago. He helped me greatly with our house and land, always having good ideas and advice. He was always there for me with anything I needed. I enjoyed him coming over to chat and share a funny story when I was out in the yard. He was always fun and never had a down moment. It’s hard to imagine what it will now be like without him. I am so sorry for Wanda and the family.
Treasured memories of Dick and Wanda. Dick was such a happy soul. Our hearts and thoughts and deepest prayers go with them all. Wonderful man, great family man that loved spending time being together with each of them. Never met a stranger and he will be so missed.
Prayers for you all. I remember Dick from Mary's Chapel. He could always make us laugh.
