Wow, 10 years have passed already?! Miss your wit and humor. I'm reminded every day of your impact on my life and on the lives of my kids each time I look at the tattoo I got to honor you. Like my own parents, thanks for watching over us all.

Remembering those I care about on this Thanksgiving day. A day usually spent with family, friends, and loved ones alike. I was just sharing a message on the obituary pages of both my parents and thought of you as well and how important you were to me. While we gather later at your former home, and fill our bellies with the foods Sonya lovingly puts together for us, I will remember the years past when you were amongst us sharing in the laughs and making memories. I told my parents I was having a slice of pumpkin pie in their honor today, so in your honor I will have to find room for a third slice. Good thing there aren't anymore online obits I can post to, cause I would be facing eating an entire pie on my own to honor those who have passed. Hope you got a chuckle from that, haha! Rick you are deeply missed.
