Baby, I miss you desperately. You were taken from us too soon. We didn't get enough time. But I know the time we had together was amazing. I don't regret a single moment. Claire and I will look forward to reuniting with you in Heaven when we are very old ladies. I love you forever. Your Sweetie Baby Pookie Pie.

I can't even begin to describe the sadness I have been feeling since Richard has gone, but it does not even compare to the happiness that he brought into my life. I will always treasure the memory of him.

Rick was my co-worker and friend for 18 years. From his high school days when he would come to work half a day at Cherwa-Ewing Engineering with plaid shoes, Hawaiian shirts and green hair, I knew he was someone special. Rick is one of the few men younger than I that I seriously looked up to; His Intelligent sense of humor made the work days enjoyable. He kept a picture of his late father on the shelf above his computer screen. In the picture, Rick and his dad are stretched out on two recliners, dressed identically in T-shirts, each in their stocking feet, eating from plates in front of the television. (Jeopardy I imagine). Rick told me he would watch Jeopardy with his father in the evening and impress his dad by knowing most of the difficult questions. He told me his dad would ask, "How did you know that?". What Rick didn't tell him was, he had watched an earlier broadcast of the same show before his father came home. My heart goes out to Allison and Claire, I'll keep you in my prayers. I am very sad to hear Rick has gone so soon.

We have lost an amazing person. I looked up to him for his brilliance and his creativity. When we hung out with the group he was the leader. He introduced me to table top gaming and its become one of my most beloved hobbies. He made us all feel apart of something special. Our funny sarcastic banter back and forth as a group will be something I miss dearly. He will be greatly missed and my heart breaks for his family and all of our friends. Rick where ever you are in this universe or the next, may all your rolls land on 20 and all your hits be crits my friend. See you next time around.
