Rick:
It was great seeing you at FBC last Friday, but was so sorry to hear why you had to make the visit.
Your mom was an amazing woman! She made such a positive impact on the lives of everyone she knew. Her development of the music program at FBC England during the time she was there was astounding. I held her in highest regard and her influence on my life has always been treasured. Cherish all the memories of her because those memories will get you through this sad time. I wish you all the best.
