I am so sorry to hear of Rick's passing. He was such a good person, and it was a pleasure to care for him. Marion, you will be in my prayers- the love you two shared for one another had always warmed my heart to see while you guys would walk the unit. I will keep you and your family close to my heart this holiday season. Take care.
