Dear Maryna and Lane,
I apologize for only finding out now about your loss of Rick. I truly value Rick's friendship and camaraderie to my late Father, Tin Win.
I wish I could have known you longer as my Father did. My husband even enjoyed meeting you while he was briefly in Texas (2008).
My Mother and I pray that God watches over and protects you throughout life.
Please let me know how I can stay in contact with you and offer you my prayers and support.
