Dear Lia and Family,
We were so very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. He was one of the kindest people I knew . . . all of my memories of Rick bring a smile to my face . . . his love of you and his children, his wit, charm, and, of course, sharing stories of Paris over coffee with us at the Bliss. The two of you have such a wonderful legacy in your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
