I am so sorry to hear of this early passing of my childhood friend. Although I have not seen Rick in many years, it is with fond memories that I recall carefree days spent with dear families from our church. Lake Helen was especially wonderful and I pray that God gives peace and grace to the entire Eichel family. Much love… St. Pete Beach, FL US

Dearest Don and Irma, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss of Rick. I knew him from my days at Lake Helen Bible Camp. He was such a soft hearted person. My heart breaks for the both of you. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to lose a child. Because even though they are grown, our kids never stop being our children. Please know that I will be lifting both of you and the whole Eichel family up in prayer. I love you all. Teresa Mt. Zion, IL US
