Thank you, Rick, for teaching us all through this entire journey. Your meditations have enlivened our faith and brought me closer to the Holy Mystery. Thank you, also, all you Gaillardetz family members, for the selfless support you have given Rick.

Louise sends prayers and love to you all. Louise Prochaska

Rick, Fr. Jim has told us about your illness and led us to your inspirations. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

In gratitude for the privilege of learning from Rick and Diana at nearly every turn, tous, tous, c'est la grace!

I am a friend of Sandra and i met you once at the LA congress. You spoke about us priests and religious somewhat focused on sex. As a married man with a family spoke of the joy of a good night's sleep. Your writings are beautiful. Thank you. Together
