To the family,

Rick went out with my daughter. During this time I found how good he could be. He helped me fix my computer. I found out how intelligent and caring he was. He had alot of love in him, and had a kind generous heart. We did have some good times when he went to Michigan to visit family for the July 4,2008, and we also had a family weddding he was at with us. Those were happier times and I wish they could have continued.... I will miss him and pray for him.
