Not sure what to say?

You have my deepest condolences on your immeasurable loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. There is little that I can say or do to ease your pain and suffering. May knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many, bring a measure of comfort. Life is so short and those we love are gone from our lives too quickly. God's promise to empty the grave in the near future is found at Hosea 13:14. May the God of loyal love comfort you during your time of sorrow.

I was so deeply saddened to learn of Rick's passing. He was so bright, warm, fun-loving, intelligent, conscientious, and caring and loving. My condolences to Rick's family and friends at this time of sorrow. May the good memories help you through your grief.

I was shocked to hear of Richard's passing, but was inspired tonight by the hundreds gathered in his honor at the Science Center of Iowa. Clearly his passion for his vocation shined through and inspired many others, that his light no longer shines at SCI saddens me. I pray that the light of those he inspired will be kindled and burn brightly enough to fill the void left by his departure. Rest in peace Richard.

You made life brighter. Your notable warmth, kindness, lessons and many gifts will be greatly missed. Prayers of comfort, guidance and peace for all. Our family will always miss you.

I only know Richard through a mutual friend. However, this much I know. The Knowledge, Leadership and Confidence that he instilled in many others will last in the hearts of all he touched...FOREVER.

RIP Richard. We had fun times at the SCI. Keep Looking Up!

My family is very proud of Richard for his service to our country. He will be missed but not forgotten. God bless Richard and his family.

Sgt Miles was an amazing soldier. It was an honor serving as one of his Platoon Sergeants for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I wish I would have stayed strong and stayed in touch with all my men from the Renegades. Miles, I am being strong now. Strong for you and Moose. I miss you both and love you like brothers. I have started a group for the Renegades. A group that we can all stay in touch and help one another. I ask that you and Moose watch over us and protect us from above. One day, we...

May those who knew and loved you be comforted at this time.
