I was among the many square dancers who knew Dick and Betty Stevens. I was honored to be by Betty's side when she passed away. I have many of her square dance clothes still in my closet.  Just can't get rid of them yet!!! I am waiting on square dancing to re-emerge like so many of the rest of us..  I also have several paintings that Dick painted and they are proudly displayed in our home. I have some articles that Betty made and when I look at those articles and the paintings done by Dick I feel very lucky to have known them and know that your family ties were strong ones.  Bob and I are doing well and will always remember your family.  God is with you as you go through this space of time and he will remain with you forever...

We remember Dick and Betty from our days & events with the Friendship Class at 1st Methodist, Brandon.    They were such a sweet couple, and willing to help with any and all activities. In class, they always sat in the same seats every Sunday.....the way we Methodists do!  Ha.  It was a happy, happy occasion when the Dukes brought Dick back to our church for two visits.  It was so good to see him again and have time to visit.
Doug remembers his association with Dick at  the Cemetery Committee meetings they both attended for years.  Dick and Doug also served as "deliverymen" for the Meals on Wheels ministry at our church.  It was there that Doug learned that Dick had a passion for CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, just as Doug has.  Doug even mailed him a package of his favorite treats when he moved to Tampa. 
When Dick and family held the estate sale at the Stevens'  home, Doug spent the whole day with Dick on the back porch, giving his "sales pitch" and watching items being sold...a bit of a sad memory.   But we bought some things  too, (per Joy,) especially the GOOD, SAFE ladder we came home with, and a large bag of workable clothes pins!!! Hallelujah!!
 May God rest his soul and welcome him into Eternal Rest.
We loved you Dick!   Joy & Doug

I worked with Dick for over 20 years in our Meals on Wheels program.  He always came early to help set up, and he was always willing to help wherever needed.  Betty cooked for Meals on Wheels for many years, and I served on several church committees with her. They were a wonderful couple, now dancing together again in heaven.
