Patricia A. Bessel

Dear Mr. Bessel, Richie, and the rest of the Bessel family,

I can't begin to describe how sorry I am for your loss. Mrs. Bessel was (and still is) an inspiration for me and my family. -Brian

Dick, Marjie, Tim, Jamie and Rick,
Kathy & I learned, yesterday, of your terrible loss. I have so many fond memories of Pat and the whole family. Those years of coaching with you and seeing the kids grow were some of the best years of my life. I'm glad I shared them with you. May God bless you all and be with you.
Our hearts and love are with you.
Tim & Kathy Toy

Hi Dick,
Word got out to Colorado a few days ago about your loss of Pat. We're really sorry to hear about that and we obviously wish you the best in the future.

We contacted Brian, who lives in Hilton, and he said there isn't a 2 or 3 day span that goes by without him thinking of you and Pat. He's still running (now with 2 kids in the stroller and one waiting to go next) and has completed 3 marathons so far. I see this continuting after the kids are a bit older.
...

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers, we are so sorry to hear of your loss

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

I am saddened to hear of your loss. Please know that I am thinking of you and you are in my prayers.

Dick - You're in my prayers during this time of grief and mourning. I'll be praying for His divine comfort and peace for you and your family.
