Kelly and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. We just spoke on the phone a couple of weeks ago, I am so glad I had that opportunity. I do have a few pictures of Rick in his late teens if the family would like a copy of them.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know your loved one personally, but I do know the pain of losing a loved one in death. It is my hope that you may find comfort from family and friends, and from “the God of all comfort” who can provide us with peace during such difficult times (2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4).
