Dear Patricia, Carrie and Geoff
I met Ric when I was a foreign exchange student with the Liggetts in '85/'86. It was a pleasure knowing him and you, his family. I'll always remember Ric as a very interesting, interested and witted person. Take care! Lots of love, Andrea from Switzerland

I am a friend of Betty's and also lost my brother at the same age. I feel your pain. My prayers are with you and the family. God Bless

I am a close friend of Betty's in Florida. I am truly saddened by your loss. I am aware that the later years were quite the test for all of you. Please take comfort as I do, that he is in a much better place - away from the earthly restraints that bind all of us in one form or another. He is watching over all of you, now in the glory of God. I look forward to the day I can meet him - when I follow to heaven the path laid by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will continue to pray that God...

I first met Ric at the University of Akron in the cafeteria; we would later spend more time there than in class.

It tested your quickness and your general...

My condolences to Richard's family. Unfortunately, I never met him but I am a friend of his sister, Betty. I met Betty through rescuing deaf Jack Russell Terriers. I am so sorry for your loss and I will keep you all in my prayers.

Pat,

You and your family are in my heart and my prayers during this time of bereavement and in the days and weeks to come.

Bev

I went to school with Geoff. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Look to God for the strength to help you get through this. My thoughts and prayers are you, Geoff and the rest of your family, during this difficult time.
