Edis, Lori, and Tracy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I know when I lost Rick it was hard. I remember Dougie the best when we would be out of school on a snow day and he would come down to sleigh down the hill. We had an old car hood and it flew. Dougie went down the hill faster than any one of us, he would yell Rick stop this thing. Rick would be laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes. I feel strong in my heart that Rick met Dougie when he got to the gates of Heaven.
