Uncle Ricky you will truly be missed. I remember all the funny things you would say when I was a young girl staying at Godmommy Mildred's house and you would stop by. You would also keep us laughing at Aunt Janie's with Uncle Sylvester. Those were some good ole days I will never forget. You are not forgotten. Weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning light. God Bless the family :-)

To Barbara and the Dickerson Family, you have my deepest sympathy and condolences in the lost of your brother. A father a uncle a cousin and a nephew. God does all things well. Ricky was made his transition. No more sorrow,no more pain, no more sickness,no crying,no more of anything. He is resting now. God loved him and called him home to be with Him. So we who are left to cherish his memories, seek Jesus as you have never before, for He is all we have. Live a Holy life for Him, How He's coming back soon and gather all of His people to Himself.
Spread the good news that Jesus loves us all
and He want us to be a Follower of Him. Do His Will and know the Scriptures and live them,and the world will know what great people we are for our Lord Jesus. Love one
another reach out to those family members that don't know Jesus and point them to the way of the Cross. Family be encourage and God will see you through these difficult
times. He will never leave you or forsake you.Go with God. Love goes out to you.
