To Lynne, Penny, Tim and families.
My/ our very deepest Condolences to you all.
Ric was one of my/ our favourite people. My dad, John and their dad Tom were extremely kind, thoughtful humans all with a wicked sense of humour. We/ I will miss him so much. (Ric would ring me every year for my birthday.) Can you imagine the laughs they will all be having now they´re all in heaven together ? Nana will be thrilled to have all her favourite men with her again.
