Not sure what to say?

Oh cousin, I could fill a page full of memories that we shared..from listening to CCR ,playing in the rain barrels,( our version of a swimming pool) climbing trees, being my guardian while heading to the outhouse so no wild animals would get me!
My favorite memories including Aunt Eloise cooking to Uncle Clifford's crazy driving..seemed like 90 miles an hour.
Clean innocent fun and laughter even being chased by Uncle Arlen's bull
Loved being at your house, I miss you horribly...

I will always carry Rick's smile in my mind. He sure was a fun cousin- in- law to have! Enjoyed his knowledge of family & area history. Our Hickel family will feel this loss forever. Peace.

We are sending our condolences and prayers to the Donalson family.

Diane and family, I am so sorry to hear this! Hope you can find peace and comfort in your memories. Love and hugs!

My deepest sympathies to you Diane and Family Theresa Brisendine

We are so sorry about Rick’s passing. We will always have wonderful memories of our dear friend. Praying for you Diana, your boys, and your granddaughter. Praying for peace and comfort. Sending hugs and love
