We can't tell you how sorry we are about this tragic loss. It is hard to fathom Rick being gone. Although, time has kept us apart, he will always be a special part of our lives. We loved him dearly as a nephew and cousin, and we will cherish the loving memories we have of him, especially his wonderful smile. We love you all very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We continue to pray for the family and friends of Rick that they find comfort and peace in the Lord Jesus Christ during this painful time of loss.

John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
