Deb,
I am sorry for your loss. I am grateful for the time that we had with Rick at North Park. I know we gave him a run for his money at times during youth events, but we loved him. I still remember the guys in the youth group spending the night at your apartment soon after you came to our church. Thanks for the memories and we will be praying for you and your family.

I'm thinking about you and praying for you as you journey through this difficult time. Thank you for the time you and Rick so freely gave to me as a teenager. Even though I didn't show it then, you impacted my life and I am thankful for being blessed with both of you in my life. Rick's memory is still making a difference in my life. Thank you for loving me and letting me see Christ through your lives.

Deb, Micah, Amanda, Nate, Rebekah and Rachel, Your husband and father was such a tremendous blessing to my family when he ministered to my mother and dad during my mother's surgery and my dad's illness in December. Pastor Rick was such a Godly example to my son Sam when he spent time with him. We have been so blessed by his and your influence in our lives. It is with a grateful heart that I send my love to you. I will be praying for each of you. Love in Christ, Martha Thomas

"All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be" (Psalm 139:16). When we least understand is when we most need to trust.

To Deb, the family, and Grace Covenant Church--We grieve with you from afar in the loss of this wonderful man. He made a profound difference in the lives of those around him. Moses prayed, "Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands" (Ps. 90:17). This God most assuredly did in the life of Rick Wilson. May you abide under His mercy in the difficult days to come. We hold you in our prayers and send our love.

Amanda and Micah,
We are praying for you.
