Dear Lynne,
It is a great shock to hear that Rick has gone forever. Death is part of life, but when it happens, it is too hard to accept. I remember when you were teenagers, his beautiful laugh, which made all of us laugh too. Please, if you wish to come to Tenerife for a while to rest, you are welcome. You know you are my "American sister" forever.
My very sincere condoleances.
Love
Dominique

I am shocked to learn about the passing of Rick. It is just hard to phathom. Most of my adolescence was spent at your house. I will always remember Rick for his laugh and smile. I wish I had the right words to help you through this time.

I just heard of Eric's passing from one of his co-workers at Herb Chambers. He was a lot of fun to deal with and a real gentleman. He always spoke so well of his whole family and showed us pictures of his granddaughter. Please remember how much he loved you all.

I know that word cannot bring RIck back but I share with you a poem that was shared with me at my time of loss.
DEATH IS NOTHING
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way, which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, and pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is an absolute and unbroken continuity. What is Death but a negligent accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well.
