I´m am so sorry for your loss! I remember when my friends and I would go see Tracy, Debbie and Patty Mr Rick was always welcoming and funny to be around, except that one time when we brought Debbie home with a broken arm from skiing at Wolf Laurel. He wasn´t mad he was just worried.
May God wrap you all in his loving arms and that you find comfort in his Love~
