I am so sorry for your loss Brynda. My thoughts are with you and with all those who knew and loved Rick.
Brynda, I’m so sorry for your loss. Words aren’t coming right now, but be sure to know that you can come to the boards with anything and there will be someone here to give comfort. Don’t forget us locals if you need anything physically either.
RickQ will live on in my heart as the laughing guy from over the pond from the Nashville Dopefest a couple of years ago. May the love that you shared give you comfort in the days to come.

I’m really sorry to hear this. I met Rick at a LonDope many years ago and then met up with him again once when I was passing through Yorkshire. He was a total sweetheart. By the second time I met him he was already planning his move to America and it was obvious how excited he was to be with you, Brynda. It seems so unfair.
Thanks, everyone. Your kindness and fond memories of Rick mean a lot to me. He was so quiet that I feared that not everyone saw his wonderful qualities.
I have asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to www.CaringBridge.org. It is an amazing site where people who are ill set up a page to post updates. it was a huge help to us. Someone PMed me about donations, so I thought I would post this here.
Local dopers, his memorial service is at Woodfin in M’boro on Thursday at 6, with visitation at 5. You would be welcome.
I’m so sorry, Brynda. It’s not fair he had to leave you so soon.
But how good it was that you had him, even for this too-short a time.
I spent time today at my church service praying for the both of you.
I am so very sorry. This is so sad and touching all at the same time.

Brynda, I’m so very sorry to hear this. My hub and I share a similar relationship and can only imagine the pain you’re in.
Take gentle care of yourself, Brynda. My condolences to you and your family.
Perhaps some small comfort can be taken in a life well-lived, and well-loved. From what I’ve learned here, and in other threads, everyone should experience the kind of love that you and he shared.
I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your love for Rick shines through everything you post.

Rick was a good man. I’m sorry for your loss.

Sorry, Brynda. I know there isn’t much we can do other than let you vent when you need it, but if there’s anything you think of, we’re here and you know there will be people who live close to you, and who can and will help.
