Rick- I'm glad we spent some time together yesterday. I told you to be strong and on the train home last night an image popped into my head: At our shul, every time we complete each of the five sections of Torah, the congregation rises and chants "Strength! Strength! Be Strong!" (except in Hebrew) and then it's on to the next book. It struck me because you had just ended one phase of your career and will soon be on to the next after this brief pause. In between, your congregation is rising now and telling you to BE STRONG and keep rolling it forward - there's a lot more story to tell!

All our love,

Glenn, Ann, Samantha, Jake and Linnie

Rick:

Not a single doubt in my mind my friend. You will handle (and conquer) this with your usual grace and style.

Geez Rick...Poffo just called me and I'm at loss for words. All I can say is that you need to hang tough, have a positive attitude and don't believe any bad news the first time. You're a survivor and the people around you love you and you'll kick this in the ass for everyone that cares for you. I'm not a religious guy but I think your karma is exactly in the right place.

Peace brother,
Jay Brahin

Dear Tami and Rick,

We couldn't find the words to say other than you are constantly in our thoughts. This quote from Lao Tzo seems right -"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
God Bless,
Bonnie and Ron
