Patty,
We share in your loss. What a delightful time we had with you and Bob a couple of Sundays ago. As we nurture our seedlings, enjoy the views of the Wet Mountains and bird watch – it will fill our mind and warm our hearts of the time we have spent together.
We wish time spent with those we love could last forever…and in our hearts it will. May all your sorrow be diminished by the memories of such a beautiful life.
We hope you will continue to join us at Twin Buttes.
Love and Hugs,
Sandy and Chuck

Some of my fondest memories are of the ski trips we took with the Dickson family when I was growing up. I always enjoyed spending time with Uncle Bob. He was a great guy and I wish I’d had more time with him.
I went on many birding trips with Bob all over Colorado, and other states. He was a great person to be around.
