Gertrude- Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Paul and Paula at this difficult time. Ricky was always a pleasure to be around and Robert, Ryan and I considered him a friend. I will always appreciate his kindness towards Ryan throughout the boys' school years-he was like a second grandfather to him.

If there's anything we can do please don't hesitate to call.
