You are
always there to make me feel good again.
What a beautiful tribute to our Richie. I can’t thank you enough, as usual. Your words take a little of the pain
away and I love you for that. I
think I shall post this on the refrigerator and read them daily. A little more pain gone everyday and
the courage to continue our own life without him. Just knowing that he is with someone greater and gentler and
more loving than ourselves is a great comfort.
I love you
Lil………..Vicci

Subject: [MOL] Rememberance of our
Richie and Vicci!
My Dear Vicki: I have never
forgotten the day when you first came on line. The stories we traded, the
ups and downs of Riches cancer journey. Your loving devotion. Your
hard work to keep two families whole. Your unselfishness, your fear, your
weariness. Your hope and prayers, all are mine to keep close to my heart
as I remember one hell of a mother/woman. Lovingly, lillian
As we seek to find comfort from one
another on this forum and from God in dealing with this terrible tragedy.
We cannot say enough about the valor of this brave young man. Words alone
will not comfort us. We must seek the assurance of our faith.
Even though we are filled with grief at
the sacrifice of a good man. Our hearts are filled with tremendous
respect for Rich's courage, his inner strength which gave him the dauntless
will to fight.
Hearts filled with gratitude and in awe
at the creation of this man. Wishing to comfort his children who lost
their father, his wife, his loving parents for their lost.
Our very noblest
feelings reflect love. And through our grief, we must recognize that. And so we
honor them.
But more important, I
believe, is that God honors him. He takes them to Himself and says,
"Welcome. Welcome home. You have done your job well, as
a faithful servant."
And some day, perhaps
not in this life, but surely in the next, we will understand this tragedy, and
we will understand that as great as this tragedy is, God's love is greater. On
that day, we will stand together and thank God for life, for each other and for
His love.
Until that day, we must
bear our grief. But we must also give thanks to God for men such as Rich.
We invite you
to take a look at our
Album.
