Dear Sissy -

You and the rest of the family have been on my mind and in my heart and prayers for quite some time. While your husband's passing may seem 'bittersweet', he no longer suffers and is at peace.

My Mom continues to teach us the power of positive thinking. I am grateful that God brought you together during a very challenging year.

May God sustain you with his courage, comfort and peace during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

Love,

Dawn DeBlaze-Herron

Sissy,

I have been in touch with my Mom and have heard about your difficult times. I was over at mom's house when you called to tell her the news of your husband's passing. I know that you and my Mom are both Angel's and hope and pray that you can continue on with your heavenly friendship. May god bless you and Rich and your extended family, you are in my family;s thoughts and prayers. Love, Scott DeBlaze

My dear Sissy,
While I never got to meet Rich personally, we both agree that God brought us together so we could share the difficulties we and our husbands went through as they both succumbed to this terrible disease. And while their journeys are over on earth, we will continue on with wonderful memories. To you and your family I offer my heartfelt sympathy and the wish that God will hold you in his arms and give you comfort. God Bless. Love ya, Dolores
