Uncle Rick



The girls only saw my Uncle Rick maybe once or twice a year.  He was such an awesome uncle to grow up with and a great friend as an adult.  Cancer took him quickly at the age of 61.  It was the first of my parent's generation to die and it was hard for me to take.  Gene took the girls so I could go to the funeral without worrying about them.  My extended family wished they could have seen the girls, but they understood that it was easier for me this way.  It was so sad to see my cousin's 2 year old calling out that he wanted Papa.  Uncle Rick's favorite holiday was July 4th and he had the best seat in heaven to view all the fireworks.
