Diane went out if her way to do things for her family. I remember when she spent hours sewing costumes/armor for Matt and I. She wanted us to look good and have fun.
Dear Kevin, Preston, & Matthew:
We’re so sorry for your loss.
I was saddened this morning to read of Mrs. Rickwood’s passing. She left this earth much too soon.
My deepest condolences to the Rickwood and Bates families. I didn’t have the good fortune of having her as one of my teachers, but I remember her. I will always remember her beautiful smile.
With deepest sympathies,
