So sorry to hear of Dickies passing. My heart breaks for everyone.
I will cherish many memories of Dickie when we were growing up. He was always a character & kept us all laughing. May he Rest In Peace now that he is with Mom & Curtis flying with the Angels 😇

Richard had casual conversations with my brother, Donnie Patten. Richard was a very interesting character. I will share Richard’s story with my brother who will find it enlightening.
Oh Gosh Dickie. I really didn’t expect you to leave us so suddenly. We had a wonderful childhood and played well together. Pretty close in our teen years in high school with you being one year ahead of me. The teachers thought I was going to be a crazy kid like you. Mom set them straight. You were a wild child. Did your time in the Army. Thank you for that. Went through 3 marriages that unfortunately didn’t work out. And your 3 wonderful children who I did spend time with until they became teenagers and had made their own choices. I love them dearly. I’ve spent time with 2 of your darling granddaughters Sierra and Willow. Beautiful and very smart and well behaved girls. I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to meet them. I know you saw Sophie and and your first grandson. They are beautiful too. Little Guy is a Charmer. And Darron has a new baby too. So many things I wished for you. I’m sorry you have suffered for so long medically and emotionally. I’m glad we made up and I told you I loved you. Always invited you to holidays or to help you out cleaning or a ride. At least I have that. I love you and I miss you very much.
I should have been the first one to sign but I really just needed a minute to process everything. I will hang onto all of the great memories I have with you from childhood from game nights to shooting my first gun and riding dirt bikes and four wheelers and summers on the jet ski at long pond…and I will miss you and love you always. I hope I am making you proud with all of the final arrangements and your resting place. Even though we talked about it I always brushed it off like it wasn’t really going to happen. I wish I saw you one last time but I will have to live with that. I hope you are finally at peace. I will always “tell your lil man you love him” don’t worry about that! Love always, your baby girl
