Cousin Rick I hope your ears are ringing up in heaven and you can hear all the words spoken and feel how much you are already missed. You will forever be on our minds and always in our hearts. I wish there was more time to make more memories but I promise at every family barbecue, every camping trip any time we get together we will pour one out for you. We love you Rick
