Uncle Dick & Aunt Ann's home was a place of special memories for me as a child. I can still hear Uncle Dick's gravely voice greeting me with a "Hey there, Meatball", and I can still hear Aunt Ann getting us all in place for one of the many holiday dinners she hosted. There are so many cousin memories made with Lauri & Lee in that home - swimming in their pool, walking down to the gas station to buy candy, going to the Holy Ghost Luthern Church Pie sale. But nothing will top the myriad of memories made going to Oklahoma with them every summer. I'm so thankful for Aunt Ann & Uncle Dick for they way they opened up the doors to their home and opened the doors to so many wonderful opportunities to me. Its a joy to know they can finally be reunited now in eternity. I have a feeling Uncle Dick is greeting all the young angels with his special, "Hey, there, Meatball." Much Love and Gratitude, Your Niece, Shelly (Rodenbeck) Wilson
