God blessed my life and ministry through Dickie Goodnough. He could at the same time be a friend and someone I looked up to, admired, and respected. He was kind, loving, and generous beyond words and a blast to be aound.

This time is always difficult in a Christian life. Knowing that our loved one is well and happy in heaven while we still miss them here. An abundance of emotions and thoughts rush through our minds. I will be praying for the family as they go through this time. I pray that God will grant you peace, comfort, and guidance. May you recognize your blessings and cherish your memories.
Dick was a fine Christian man with a sweet spirit and a wonderful sense of humor. My prayers are with you, and may you be comforted by the presence of God in the days to come. Love to all, The Khoes
