My husband and I were so sorry to hear of Mr. Rick's passing. Although we only knew him from Comfort Furniture, we always enjoyed visiting with him. He would spend hours helping with your selections or just chatting. His attitude was always so positive and he will be sorely missed.

Dearest Rick Family,
I knew your parents when I was your Mom's Home Health Aide at one time about 10 years or so ago. They were two of the nicest people. I even brought my children to see your Mom and they sure brightened up her day. Your Dad used to get your Mom and I Dunkin Donuts coffee every morning when I would come over. My two most favorite people. May you be comforted to know they are once again together.
