Dear Nouno and Mike,
I am sorry I cannot be with you both at this time. I am sad for the loss of my nouna but am grateful she is now at peace. I know she meant the world to you both and to so many others who knew her. I will always remember her smile and joyful enthusiasm. I regret we lived so far apart and could not share more time together. I still have great memories of visiting you all, especially in 1994 with my friend Jay and how much fun we had during Memorial Day weekend. You were such gracious hosts. I have been blessed to have had Donna as my godmother,and the entire Ricos family as part of my extended family. You are very special people to me and my family. My wife Kay, son George, and daughter Kate extend their prayers for your family during this time. God Bless,
Nick

Nick,my prayers are with you and your family. It is so hard to lose a loved one, particularly during the Christmas season. I haven’t seen you since the early ’70s when I worked for you part-time at Ricos, Wade and Price. I was viewing my youngest son’s guest book (Geoffrey Webb)and recognized your name on the mortuary home page. My heart goes out to you.
