Janie and sons, I am so deeply sorry about Dick's death. I know it is hard to lose him, and that your family is suffering terrible grief. I just wanted to tell you how much Dick was loved and respected and admired. You were blessed to have him as a husband and father. I will pray for healing for your family and for the repose of Dick's soul. When I lost my husband and my three children lost their father, it was a terrible blow. So many people mean well when they say they know how you feel...but they don't! Janie, you are blessed with two wonderful sons who will give you great comfort, I promise. They are the part of Dick that are still here with you. Much love and prayers,Ellen Anderson Phillips
