John, Olympia, Teresa,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I was shocked and saddened to hear about Ricky. I am glad I got to see him a couple of years ago at your home. Most of the memories I have of him are when we were children, playing games while the grown-ups played cards. They are fun memories. God bless you and take care of yourselves.

Dear John, Olimpia, Terry, Greg & Michelle,

My deepest sympathies to all of you. I haven't seen Rick in about 10yrs but have thought of him often. It was quite a shock to hear

of his passing. I have many good

memories of the times we spent together. (I'm an old girlfriend from about the late 1970's early 80's.) Sincerely, Karen Talaber-Clement
