Rick Honeywell, dob 1/10/60, diagnosed 3/02, died 11/02, with
wife Chrissy and children
Megan and Daniel. Rick adored being a husband and dad, and really
enjoyed his job of
Chief Master Sergeant in the USAF. A memento he received from
the other Chiefs at
Dyess AFB says, "Chief Rick Honeywell .... Leader, Mentor,
Friend." We'd add to that,
"Husband, Daddy, and the warmest man you'd ever hope to meet.
Sorely missed."

A Parable of Immortality
By Henry van Dyke
I am standing
upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to
the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object
of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she
hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sun and sky come
down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says,
"There she goes!"
Gone where? Gone
from my sight- that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to
bear her load of living freight to the places of destination.
Her diminished
size is in me, not in her. And just at that moment when someone
at my side says, "There she goes!" there are other eyes
watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad
shout, "Here she comes!"
