I am truly sorry to learn of Lt. Drake's death. May your many memories of your hero sustain you in the coming years, and may you find comfort in the knowledge that Lt. Drake is at home in the arms of the Lord. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

I don't believe I ever saw Rick without a smile on his face. I pray that God will ease the pain of his family and friends and comfort you through this very painful time. Grieving is for the living because of our loss, not Ricks loss. I'm sure heaven is much brighter today because he is there. For Christians, the bible tells us to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. John 11: 25, "...I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die...."

God Bless you all.
