Bunny,

I want to tell you how much I love you., and I know you loved me, too. We shared so much together – our beautiful pets, our home, our friends, and our family. Everyone who knew you absolutely adored you. Your sense of humor, caring personality, and high energy are my favorite characteristics about you.

Thanks for all the crazy Jeep rides; trips to the beach; Buffet concerts; cook-outs; gourmet meals; Halloween; the perfect wedding day; and for loving me so deeply.

You made me a better person, and I always felt like I was so lucky to be your wife; even through the ups and downs of life, we toughed it out and stuck together…

Kate, Max, and Lacey miss their dad…Kate wants you to give her some soda; Lacey wants to hop up on your chest and kiss your face; and Max wants to be your wing-man or “side-seat-driver” & have you take him for a car ride.

I know you’re now snuggling with Quila, Hayley, Sasha & Kiwi but we all miss you deeply.

You are my “everything”; our world was a better place because you were in it.

Always remember our promise to try to “out love” each other.

Loved you first, longest & forever,

Mrs. Bunny

Good men must die...but death cannot kill thier names.
Winston Churchill once said " I am ready to meet my maker. Weather my maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter".....Go easy on him up there will you Rick!!!!!!!
Your friendship will always be in my heart and someday we will play cards again.

It's a lonely time at Champp's when the bacon's done and Rick isn't here to share it with. I miss those Sunday mornings with those personal deliveries of produce and be able to swap jokes over a cup of coffee and a couple strips of fresh bacon. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I knew Rick in the Houlihan days..He was always smiling and having a great time... everbody who knew him loved him..and the after-hour poker games were a staple of all of us in those days. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends..

I deeply sorry for the hurt that Robynne, Rodney, Derek and the rest of the family are feeling. Rick was a wonderful, caring man who had the knack to make everyone around him laugh and feel happy. He truly cared about people and did what he could to brighten their day.
