Letter from Judy Worrell

March 17th, 1997

I had fully intended to have something on Rick's web site by the anniversary of his death but I still find myself in such mourning over it I haven't been able to get myself to write anything. If you would, please put this email on his web with my promise to write something soon. In closing Rick's office I learned pretty special things about him and I would like to share on the web my experiences. I found myself more of a "counselor" than I was prepared for because in many cases I became the main or only contact for his patients to talk to about his accident. Although I counted it a privilage, it at times left me emotionally very drained. I am still in the process of finishing up his receivables for a couple patients and hope to put my thoughts down to share with the other people who loved him so very much. Instead of this past year being a period of accepting his death, the closing of his office has been just the opposite for me, I still just can't believe it is true. I know many will be going to his web site to have a sense of closeness to him during this time. When I can emotionally get myself together to compose something I'll write down more of my thoughts. Sincerely, Judy Worrell
