Dear Lorraine and family, I am so very, very sorry to hear about Rich. Even though we have not traveled together in awhile, I have always kept you both in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you know that I thought the world of him. You were blessed to have such a great guy for your husband and friend all those years. I am sure they have him working up there, probably planning some bus trips. May God comfort you during this difficult time, and know that he will never be forgotten. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
