Sending along our thoughts and prayers for all the family. Rip was a part of my life forever as we were raised "just around the corner" from each other - saw him at Iraan Homecoming. Our families were like families. May God grant you the strength needed in the coming days. Blessings, Beverly Allen Armstrong

To Mary and all of the families, I too will miss Rip and that wonderful sense of humor. I know my brother Len and he will be up to something in the hereafter and that makes me smile. He was a good friend to Len and to all of the Garretts. Our blessing on you all, Fay and Jim Burian, Crystal River, Florida
