Am so sorry for your loss everything you said about the Va is true I don't think I will live long enought to ever see it get better are Va nursing home here should be closed down its a sad thing to know how are vets are treated you have a lot of guts for what you did and said we need more people like you in this world god bless you thanks so much

MaryLee knows how much I care and love her family...I was blessed to have been with her and Eddie, at the hospital that weekend, at Rich's bedside. The 3 of us talked to Richie, prayed over Richie and kept each other chuckling by teasing Richie. I saw what this family went through, I felt what this family went through and also felt horribly helpless to not be able to do anything. Richie is safe now, they can't hurt him anymore. God will send his angels to surround MaryLee during this sad, confusing time. Love, Merrilee

God bless Rich, you and your families. My 82 year old father is going through hell with the VA and at this very minute is in excruciating pain as a result of them. God bless our veterans - they deserve so much better. He had so much faith in them only to have that faith betrayed. Vets get supplemental insurance - don't rely on the VA system for your healthcare. Bless our vets and their families.

Mary, Marge just told us of your loss. Rich had been in our prayers since the initial e mail came through that he was in the hospital after his colonoscopy. I hear your pain more than you realize. I had worked for the VA in 2000-2002 and left because I literally got sick because I couldn't get the help the veterans deserved in a timely fashion. It is my understanding things have chaned here, hopefully they'll change down therd too. Peace of the Lord be with you. Love, Kathy

I am so sorry for your loss
