This is a beautiful and deeply needed resource. Rick has given us all a gift.
Rick Warren, Daily HopeAs a professional in the senior care field for over 25 years,

Every person in this field should have this book!
Susan Papiri, Community Liaison Council on Aging – Southern CaliforniaI laid my husband, Joe, to rest, at the
Sacramento Valley National Cemetery on October 5Th. I contacted Pastor Rick and asked him to officiate the service.

Thank you, Pastor Rick. You are a very special person.
With love.
