Carol and family;
I was so sorry to hear the news. Rick will always remain in my memory with the smile on his face he had so often. It's been a long road from Oppenheim and Dolgeville for all of us but the great times together are not forgotten.

Don't really know what to say at a time like this Carol. Unbelievable is what we keep thinking and saying.
We are so very glad we saw you and Rick at the reunions. I keep remembering Rick said he wished we lived closer.
Our prayers are with you Carol and your family. Stay strong.
