Lisa,
You're in our thoughts and prayers. Rick fought a long and hard battle. I enjoyed working with him at Highway and I'll miss him dearly.
Love,

So sorry to hear of this. It has been so long since I last saw "Ricky" (That should give a hint how long.). I have tried through Facebook to renew old acquaintances and heard of this in that manner. I'm sure he and Mike have seen each other by now! Mike went to be with the Lord 6-6-06.Praying for the family.
Love in Christ,
