Read MoreDear Lori,
It was heartwarming and touching at The Moth storytelling last night to see and hear your father. Of course I thought of you & the girls and your Rick with some sadness but also with joy in my heart when I saw your dad. What a good dad. Sending love to you all. Please tell your dad he is The Best! ♥ Susan

Dear Lori,
I am so sad for you and your loss. Please ask if there is anything I can do for you. Your generosity of spirit has made me happy and I wish the best for you during the time it will take for healing. I remember your enthusiasm about going with family to the Grace Potter concert last summer and enjoyed the gorgeous clothes and jewelry you encouraged me to buy recently. This is so sudden and sad. With warmth and affection and hope, confident in your inner resources and the...

Lori, Alex, and Devin...
Two years ago, during a hot July, Rick and you guys opened your home to a complete stranger and made me feel right at home. It takes love and warmth to turn a house into a home, and from what I felt, I know that laughter will once again return to that kitchen where you shared so many excellent meals and times. And Rick could not have been more open and welcoming; what a bright light and great spirit!
My love and thoughts are with all of you.

Dearest Lori and Daughters,
How so sorry I am for the sudden loss of Rick! Lori, hard to believe its over 30 years together and that you knew how strong your love was then and now! Incredible, really, to have had such a wonderful time together. I know you have an abundance of strong memories, too. I am sad I don't have more of the two of you but was there when the house was bare, just 3 walls! That pig was delish--have had a few whole roasted since then! See it clearly as I know you...
