Dear Barbara, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Last time I saw you and Rick was at Cripple Creek having the time of your life, living and traveling in your motor home. Those are memories you’ll treasure forever. Take care of yourself.
I just heard that Rick passed. I enjoyed visiting with him during my years at Mesa Vet. He brought a smile to my face every time I saw him. My condolences to the family.

I want to give you my deepest sympathies for the loss of . I know was very loved and will be missed deeply. Death is hard on all of us, young or old we all must face it. God’s word can give us comfort and hope that some day there will be no more death. At 1 Cor. 15:26 it says:�”And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” Also Rev. 21:4 says: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’�
I hope that family and friends can gain comfort from God’s word as you go through this difficult time.
Again I’m deeply sorry for your loss ~ Edna Long
