"Come to me, my faithful servant, and rest."
On June 20, 2010, Richard McEntee was taken home to the Lord. As a founding member of the Washington State March for Life, he was a tireless crusader for life.
Henry Hyde said, "When the time comes as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I've often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God – and a terror will rip through your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there will be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world – and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, 'Spare him because he loved us,' – and God will look at you and say not, 'Did you succeed?' but 'Did you try?'"
Richard tried, and gave, and encouraged, and built, and witnessed and loved, laughed and lived.
That chorus of voices will be a powerful consolation for him as we entrust him to the Mercy of the Lord of Life.
The McEntee family is especially grateful for all the thoughts and prayers received during this time.

Dear Marcher for Life,
Thank you for joining us on the Capitol steps in Olympia on January 19. We had an amazing turn out, counting approximately 7,000 marchers coming from all over the state. Our voices are being heard and our numbers are growing. Let's stay motivated and continue to support pro-life activities throughout the year.
In particular, let's stay focused and share our pro-life opinions with our state legislators. They are here to serve their constituents (that means us!) across the state and in Washington D.C.
At the March this year, we heard from and were able to recognize some of our Senators and Representatives that support the Life Principles. Below is the list of those that spoke or who stood with us:
SENATORS
Please note: Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos was the only legislator who outright declined the invitation to join us. She does not stand with us.
We want to keep you informed about pro-life candidates that are running for various offices. We do not endorse any particular candidate but share their names with you. Please take time to learn about these candidates and give them your support.
Dr. Art Coday and Clint Didier were present at the March and are running for Senator Murray's seat. Other pro-life candidates running for the Senate seat but not present are: Chris Widener, Sean Salazar and Craig Williams.
John Ahern stands with us at the March and is running to regain his seat in the House of Representatives, 6th District, Spokane.
John Russell stood with us at the March and is running for US Congress, District 3.
Dick Muri is a candidate for US Congress, 9th District.
Lastly, we want you to remain informed about legislation that is being introduced.
For life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
The Board of the Washington State March for Life
