Christy, I'm so sorry to hear about Rick's passing. I hope he is finally at peace as his life seemed so tortured at times. I'm sure this has left a scar on you, but he tried to be a good person. We had many deep conversations over our 20 years as neighbors. I was always amazed by his talent with pencil drawings, very talented, and then as a photographer. I'm guessing that's where you got your inspiration?  I'm sure he and Barbie are very proud of the person you've grown to be. Don't hesitate to ask if there's anything Aunt Lorena or I can do to help you out. There's many more stories that I could probably share, but I have a terrible time typing on a phone. As a child, you were always like a daughter to us. Come visit us sometime if you're in the neighborhood. 

Love and condolences, Uncle Jeff.
