Rick is rejoicing with Jesus and the angels.
Dear Wolfe family. I am very sorry to have read of the recent death of your loved one, Rick. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be very comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 528,29 and also at Revelation 213-5. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our dear loved ones, as well as do away with all of the many causes we have for suffering, including pain, sickness & death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will likewise comfort your family also during this most difficult time in your lives.
Jean, so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. May God continue to give each of you comfort, strength, and peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Susie Pender

Dear Jean and Family & Vicky Wolfe White – A classmate of Ricky’s from elem. – high school and lived a few blocks from his family; I am sincerely saddened to have learned of your sweet husband’s passing. May your memories be fond ones and allow his legacy to pass on to the next generations. May G-d open his golden gates to allow for his next journey to be as sweet and loving as his last. May he Rest In Peace. Robin Dinsmore
Jean , when you called I was so sorry to hear about Ricki. He was part of us all growing up. Too, too many memories flow from those years. Please pass my condolences to your family. Please tell Vicki, Cecil , Donald and everyone else that you all are in my prayers. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do. Love you all.
Jean, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Rick was such a gentle, godly man and it was a pleasure getting to know him even if for a brief time. You will be in our prayers.
Hanging out at Rick’s with the guys on Men’s conference weekends, good food, no sleep, and just enough theology to remind us of what we have in Christ…..Big smile…Big smile.
I am so saddened by Rick’s move from this temporal life but happy that he now is in the direct presence of God Himself. I will miss his continual encouragement to humbly get involved with God’s projects. Many times over the years I got together to hang out with the guys from many churches. I desperately needed those times and none of them would have happened unless Rick had been in the middle of everything inviting us all. Love is active, Love does things, and Rick walked in God’s Love and got us right in the middle of God’s projects. Every possible blessing to you and your family there are so many joyful memories to walk in until we all see him again. Somewhere in the heavens another project is just getting under way.
Dear Jean family and Vicky. Cindy and I are so sorry for your loss.In the coming days may God give you peace and comfort. you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers
