Dear Nanette and family,

Sister Sager and I were deeply saddened to read of Rick's passing in Sunday's Deseret News. We wish to join with the many others and express our love for Rick, you and his children. We haven't seen Rick since the early 1990s and were sad to hear of his extended illness. We admired his many qualities, and especially his faithfulness and devotion to his missionary call and service in the France-Switzerland and France-Toulouse Missions. His is loved by all who served with him.

May the Lord bless you and strengthen you as you unite together and look forward to the day when you can all be together again in the presence of Him who loves us all.

We send our love and pray for your continued blessings We regret not being able to come down personally and express these feelings to you all.

I was saddened to hear of my cousin Rick's passing. He was so much fun to know and be around. I remember the time when he graduated from high school and came to Las Vegas to crash on my living room floor before going on to Calif. Our thoughts and prayers go with your family.
