I really don't know what to say other than well for one thing he was my first son-in-law cuz Michelle was my first born so she got married first and her children were my first grandchildren and Rick was an amazing young man Rick and Michelle met at church it was a I guess love at first sight she was 16 he was 18 and they went together for at least 3 maybe 4 years before they got married right there in that church. She went to school while he worked and she got her RN and she went very far in her career she was the one of the people at Head Start who would train the nurses in the field going from Selma to Hanford to all the small towns to check on the school district nurses she had a wonderful job she also was the youth leader at church and when the kids didn't have the money to go to a Christian concert she paid for all of them she even bought a van so she could take some to the beach stay in motels she used to take them and they had a great time then one day she had a stroke she was quite Young she was about 32 it's a vascular stroke and she got better but but later on in life when she was working she got dementia from that stroke so she lives with us and Nicole was taking care of her dad because taking care of both of them was just too much for her. I want to publicly thank Nicole for everything she did for her dad she loved her dad so much to work very hard God bless her thank God for both her and her brother Brandon who is married to a lovely girl named Sicily. Wendy and I are more than happy to have Michelle with us Wendy's taking very good care of Michelle now that Rick is gone my heart goes out to Nicole but she will overcome the loss of her dad when she thinks about him she'll know he's with Jesus praise the Lord.
