"To the entire O'Shaughnessy Clan: There are no words available to describe the immense loss to your family. I pray your family will be guided by Love N Light through the days ahead and find a sense of peace at some point along this journey through grief. I had the distinct pleasure of knowing Rick when he was, like me, an optimistic college kid just beginning to spread our wings and fly. Rick flew high and was blessed with the love of family and friends. The love never goes away...Love N Light Scott M. Weekley"
