To the family...
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I know personally that there is not much one can say to really help ease the hurt, but I would like you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."
2Corinthians 4:16-5:1

May all of you find some peace and calm in the difficult days to come. Know that Rick and all of you are being held close to our hearts and included in our prayers. It is said that when we lose someone close and dear to us --- that while we may lose their physical presence here, we gain something bigger --- we gain an Angel we know by name. Rick, you're one Angel that deserves his wings. Con mucho carino,
