This is not a happy post. if you are already depressed you may want to look for better stuff to read elsewhere.
I had a disturbing phone call from my sister last night. it’s never good when someone starts out “I have bad news.” Seems she and her husband got a phone call from a friend back in Illinois about another friend of all ours in Myrtle Beach who committed suicide. This person was my first real BF, Richard Andreson, from Rossville Illinois. After my sister called I got a call from Cheryl who was in my class in high school…she lives just 20 miles north of me up in Monument. She was crying about this and I was still so stunned I wasn’t much help to her.
Wow…want to hear a coincidence? Earlier yesterday I was re-typing my security questions on my credit card website and one of them was “What was your first boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s name?” I actually said outloud “Rick Anderson” then three hours later I hear he’s dead….absolutely weird eh?
This completes my triad of Death…Morgie (Mike Morgeson), Ralph Rainey, from Alabama whom I met when I lived in Florida, now Rick…..Let’s hope death takes a holiday for a good long time now.

Oh my gosh… we know the family well. Rick worked at FMC with Randy and his brother Rusty umpired little league for us. Will send sympathies to family.
This last year has been full of losses of friends and loved ones. I too hope it takes a holiday.

I knew you would know him. My heart is weeping for Forrest and Carolyn.

aww I’m so sorry to hear it
Of course I don’t know who you’re talking about but any loss is tragic.

Was Richard the same guy who was a nurse when I used to live back there? I remember a Richard from Rossville, but I’m not sure if it’s the same 1? God I hope it wasn’t him? What a loss
