Aunt Rita, Kevin & Heather,
It is with a heavy heart that we have to send you this. I'm so sorry to hear about Ricky, I was truly shocked. We are in the Mississippi gulf coast for the winter, as I told you at Uncle Perry's services. (I just got off the phone with Pat Oxley)You sure have had a tough couple of months. I called Gail and let her know, she feels terrible for you all as well. Aunt Rita, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
All our love,
Mary Jane & Gary Taft

I was so sad to open the paper and see Rick had passed away. He and I dated so very long ago. He was a good friend and a sweetheart to me and I'll always remember him. We had a lot of fun together. Rest in peace, Rick.
