“I am so very sorry for your loss. When I was younger and we lived by you and I watch the kids I thought you had the nicest family and I always enjoyed talking to you all. Mr. Rice was always happy and smiling and very helpful to whoever needed help. I was shocked today when I saw his Obituary. I was sad. He was a nice man. My heart goes out to Mrs. Rice and the kids. He's an Angel singing to God and Jesus. Open your wings and fly high Mr. Rice. You will be missed. Prayers 🙏.”
