Your Aunt Mabel is so proud of you and Connie and children.
Thanks so very much for your taking care of your Dad. I know it is your Dad. But, some children do not feel the NEED, to take care of their parents. Also, a special thank you to our sweet Connie! For holding my brother, and singing him all the way to the heavenly kingdom! Our Lord was listening to her!
I am so very sorry for your loss. Uncle Rick was a great man. He will be dearly missed.
We are so sorry for your loss. Praying for strength, peace, comfort and love.
Rest in Peace Rick!
My heart felt prayers go out to the family, I speak for Rick Higgins, his son JR Higgins, and Daniel Higgins, and myself Leslie Phipps. Rest in everlasting peace and love, AMEN ❤️
We feel for your loss and pray for your peace and comfort.
Rick, I am so sorry cousin! I can’t imagine what that must feel like. I know you loved your dad dearly and you guys had such a great relationship, I have really good memories of you guys growing up when we would do holidays together. Both your parents were so amazing ! Sending you so much love to you and your beautiful family .
So sorry for your loss. Rick was a very nice man, and a frequent patron at the Elkins Public Library. Prayers for you all.
Rick,
I’m so glad you moved to Wa State for a short time.
I hadn’t known you for 10 minutes and it seemed like you’d been a friend forever. Love you pal.
Rick, I enjoyed our conversations during our visits. You were a good man. Your service to your family even during your own illness was a remarkable thing. It was a true pleasure to help you in your time of need. I do remember how much you loved your family. You were a blessed man. Your family will have many great memories. Rest In Peace dear man. I pray you are in His presence. With all respect,
