Dear Sarah,
I hope my condolences after 7 years aren't too late or unwelcome. Rick and I grew up together in Endicott and, you may remember, he visited me in St. Paul while on a business trip. That he stayed in the Pioneer-Endicott building during his stay, capped what seemed a God-inspired time.
Rick and I had a huge and painful falling out in 10th grade. His visit with me after 30 years of silence was wonderfully healing. I will always be greatful for his willingness to seek me...

I have fond memories of our childhood as we grew up spending at least a few days each summer camping as our fathers were close friends. My condolences.

My thoughts and prayers are with Rick's family and friends. I had Rachel in third grade and remember Rick's love for his family. I'm sending a big hug to Rachel and her family.

Will be praying for the family. You don't know me but when I heard of Rick's death I just want to give my condolences and tell the family their in my prayers. May the Lord strengthen and comfort you at a time such as this.

Dear Sara, girls and family,
