My heart broke the night you left. I wanted to scream and yell for you to come back, but in my mind I knew you were in a much better place and you were no longer in pain and dancing on the streets of Heaven. Thank you for welcoming me to the family and being my friend. I will miss you so much, but know we shall meet again one day. I love you Rick and will always have a special place in my heart!

Pop Rick was so very special to my sisters and I.
I met him when I was 15 years old. Now at 58 years old, I will treasure the memories of him and all the wonderful times we spent together. Forever loved. Until we meet again, May he rest well. Always, Linda💕
