Dear Kay, Denise, Michelle and Steve,

My sincerest condolences! I am very sad that I was not able to come to St. Louis to be there with you to say good bye to Rich and to reminisce about the good times we have shared. I know the grief is very hard right now, but our memories will help us cope through today and hope to ease the sense of loss in the days and months to come.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
