Dear Mimi, Irene was kind enough to let me know of Rick's passing. My mother had Alzheimer's, so I know how heartbreaking it is for the family and friends who lose their loved one to this devastating disease. I am so sorry for your loss. One of these days I'll get to Phoenix again and would love to see you. We all missed you last year at our reunion.
Hugs, Ann Calfee Alden
