Dear Family of Mr. Ed Flick,
Our entire family sends our condolences in the passing of your dad and grandfather. I have fond memories of your dad being a great father, mentor, and baseball coach at St. Leo’s. He was also very encouraging when I decided to join the Navy years ago – and I never forgot that. Mike, so ironic we just saw one another at my dad’s funeral. Such sad times for our families but our family was extremely grateful that you were able to attend. God Bless always. Love, Brian and Lorna Miller

I am so sorry for your loss. I too have lost dear loved ones in death. This loss can seem so overwelming. Fortunately, I found comfort in God’s promise that one day I would see my dear loved ones again.(John 5:28,29)By petitioning our heavenly Father in prayer, he will give you the peace and comfort you need to get through your trials. (Philippians 4:6,7) May you and your family find comfort at this difficult time.
Sincerely, Brenda N .
