Dedication to Marie and Rick Stoddard This is a dedication to Rick and Marie Stoddard. Marie Stoddard died at the age of 46 due to cancer from smoking. Rick travels everywhere since, telling his story, inspiring people to fight out against the tobacco companies. Rick has inspired me to do the same. This dedication is a thank you, and a tribute to them. Thank you Rick. Rest in Peace Marie. I send my prayers to you both. The song is Who You'd be Today by Kenny Chesney.
