Not sure what to say?

Grief is such a strange thing to live with after 21 years. As you would expect, the month of July continues to be the one that is likely to be the most difficult. It is especially kind of Nina, Robin and Jill to remember us today. I am most blessed with many friends who reached out via texts and phone calls this week. The words of you all can certainly feel like cool balm calming our hearts and spirits. God bless you for remembering Rhett as the years roll on. It means more than you can...

Rhett will always be remembered. Still the finest human being I've ever known! See you in the stars...

I just wanted his loved ones to know that... indeed his legacy lives on, through people like me who think of him often, despite knowing him only briefly and somewhat tangentially. He was just one of the coolest and best guys i ever knew.

Thank you Brenna, Nina, Robin and Jill for your remembrances

But thanks be to God for allowing us to be Rhett's parents. He will never be forgotten. Even Abi's children, Cecilia and Ezra know Uncle Rhett stories and recognize his photos. God designed love to...

Remembering the Waltz lessons Rhett taught me. God bless, my friend.
