Dear maggie and Lydic family,
Sue and I are so sorry for your loss. I grew up across the street from Mag and Rich and have always respected and admired Rich, and being a fellow veteran I respect him even more for his multipule tours in Vietnam. Rich was a quiet man but always freindly , i never heard him say somthing bad about anyone and also never heard anyone say anything bad about Rich. I have my American Flag at half mast here in his honor. sorry i cant be there in person folks but know that I will always hold Rich in high regard.

Thoughts and prayers are with you today. I have very big shoulders (although not as big as your heart) so if there is anything you need or that I can do for you or your family I am only a call away.

Maggie,
I have always felt at times like this there is so little anyone can say, for there are not words that have been invented to fit the loss of a loved one. I pray God will be with you alway to deal with your grief.
Love, Emma

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
