    Carla,
    Rick and I are so shocked. We remember taking care of your swimming pool when we had The Pool Doctor. You and Tim were always so welcoming and we really are blessed to have known you both. Words cannot express our sorrow. Rick considered him a dear musical freind and he will be so missed. His talent will be missed, George must be putting a band together in Heaven and now he has the best guitar player and singer! God bless you and your family. We are in Florida now and want you to know miles cannot ever replace friendship.
    Sincerely
    Rick and Donna Moore
