I am so, so sorry to hear this news. I can not find the words to express how or why it should be that I could feel this loss as deeply as I do, never having met Rick in person, but only through a couple of cards and PMs. And I know I am not alone in this. Across the globe, are so many heavy hearts because of Rick's passing. Here at MUDCAT, we are just a smattering of the lives he has touched. I think of the countless others who mourn his passing. As we share this sadness, so we also share gratitude and joy for all that he has been to us, in whatever capacity.

Heather, may there be some comfort for you in knowing how many share your sadness, and that you are being held by loving hearts the world over.    KT
