Our prayers are with them today and all who are suffering with them.

It is important to be there for them in that very moment in whatever way we can." --Rex Dickey, Chaplain

"Over the past couple of weeks there certainly has been much suffering in the world.

No one is exempt, that is for sure." Rex A. Dickey
