SANDRA P AMBROSINI says:
Dear Linda,
I was so heartbroken to hear about Rick. I went to grade school with Rick and knew him for many years. I was Brookes Girl Scout leader for many years through Holy Rosary. My family owned Lenci’s Deli on 22nd ave. and saw Rick and his family on and off over the years in the store and at Holy Rosary. My daughter and Brooke were classmates for several years and when we heard of Brookes passing we were so shocked. I was friends with Rick on facebook and always enjoyed seeing pictures of himself with Brookes children. My heart goes out to Brayden & Bailey, I could tell how close they were with Grandpa.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your entire family at this great loss.

Dear Linda, words cannot express how sad I feel, I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with you two, but the time I did, I enjoyed every minute of it. I thought Rick was such a unique human being and your love story was so sweet. I remember you and him at Jackie and Oscars surprise second wedding , had a blast with you all. May the peace of the Lord be with you and your family♥️Love Robin
