Dear Carol and family,
My heart broke when I heard the news of Rick's passing. Having worked with Rick over the years I watched him change from a confused gentle boy into a young man with an infectious grin and a beautiful soul. He possessed an unspoken quality of caring for others that is rarely seen or appreciated today. What this old earth has lost is heaven's great gain...remember the good for it is the only thing that is true and healing.Sincerely~~

Please accept my sympathy and prayers during this time of unimaginable grief. I feel blessed to know Rick and the family and will always remember his mischievious smile. I can only hope through his death, that attention will be paid to others suffering from addiction and mental health issues. Let me know if there is anything you need.
