I was so very sorry to hear about Rick's demise. We actually set out from Phoenix On June 3rd to move to Maine and once we got here you have been on my mind. I have been composing a letter to you telling you of our move since we got here. Then I heard from Linda about Rick. I tried mailing you a sympathy card with letter but it came back. Sharon, we always knew Rick was a marshmallow deep inside, but I really feel it took your influence to show that side of him to the world. You and Rick and in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Judy McDarby
