Celebration of Life

Rich's burial was simple, beautiful. We really like the plot the VA selected for us. Rich family has been great. They are so precious-each like a distinct flower and missing Rich so much. One day my dear Rich we shall see you again..........face to face.

I cannot put into words how wonderful this send off party was for us. Andrew started, Kurt ended with testimonies, worship, communion, great food.  So many friends, family. The church made a DVD so we shall always have this night. His friends from State Civil Defense and The American Red Cross were there. I was 'blown' away as I never put an obit in the Honolulu paper. Wanting to keep this personal...but the Lord made known this to his dearest co-workers.

Family begins to leave today. Grandma and Aunt Janet fly out at 5.  Bill and Stacie leave at 10. Suz and Gary Abbott leave tomorrow morning at  7 am  Michael and Patty leave on Tuesday. Michael and Kris leave on Wed. I am so grateful they came for Rich's send off. I know many good things will come out of Rich's passing. To all of you, the Army of you, who have been faithful to pray for us, we once again thank you for all your love, support, text, calls, emails, flowers, monetary donations but mostly for taking the time to love Rich and all that he was for this world-this time.
