I am so sorry about your family's great loss. Sometimes we don't understand why things happen, but we must have faith that we are all in God's hands. If there is anything that we can do for your family, please don't hesitate to ask.

Diana, I was deeply saddened to hear the news about Rich today--my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, I will miss Rich--he was one of the nicest people I have ever met and he was always so kind and thoughtful, I never remember him being in a bad mood-he was always so pleasant--I'm sure I can speak for the rest of my co-workers at Lawrence Chevrolet in saying how very much we will miss him. God bless you and your family.
