Christine Rickard
Since meeting Carol at Vintage Rose Resale Shoppe, she and I have had a 15 year relationship...one I've treasured deeply. My husband and I were at another funeral when I got the news that my friend had passed a few days earlier. It still makes me gasp...she has been a trusted and loyal friend and I've missed her since she moved from Hart to Ludington. We took each other "out" for breakfast twice a year. For her December birthday and mine in June. She loved to make pies and drop them off at our house and she taught me how to make her delicious pie crust. She made the BEST pies and I tried to reciprocate. I believe the last time I saw her was when I brought her a piece of pie...and Carol, I never did get you the apple butter I made...I'm so sorry. What I would give to hug you one more time. How I will miss my annual birthday cards and Christmas notes. When I was with the National Asparagus Festival, you were my faithful and devoted volunteer year after year. Now you're with our Lord and Savior and in a better place. Someday I'll give you that hug my friend. love, Chris, Stan & Roxie Rose Rickard
