Dear Marty and Christopher,
I was very sad to see that Rick had passed in the paper a few days ago. Marty, you always had such fun and sweet stories to tell about him, and both Carol and I knew your hearts were grieving as his memory got confused those last few years in Tacoma on Baltimore St.
Whenever we came for hair appointments, Rick would often be outside working on something, or pop in often to ask you a question, Marty. I wish we could've seen him dance and sing! He had marvelous talents, and I love that he sang to the patients at the Western State Hospital. He had a big heart, love, and concern for those folks, I know. And he certainly married the right woman, for your heart is so big, too.
And Christopher, what a fine son you were to your Dad and Mom. That was a big move out to Graham that the 3 of you took, and you were a rock for your Mom, for she would talk much about you often. Keep up the good work and hold each other close.
I'm sure you have peace that he is in a good place, and healed. You are blessed to have many dear friends and extended family, as well.
May the next month and years contain some joy and laughter, as well as some tears. With great love comes grieving, and that's okay.
Our love and prayers goes out for you both, and the rest of the extended family.
Shari & Carol Shelton
