It will be a year tomorrow since you died. I wish you were here, and I wish you were here to see us now. We're working hard every day to live up to your memory.

We had a pancake dinner last night for Shrove Tuesday, Dad. It wasn't the same without you, we have too many pancakes left over.

I am a fellow MARC train commuter. Rick always had something good to say, especially about his family. We laughed and joked and it definitely helped pass the time on our long commute. He was also a good sounding board when things were rough and we needed a different perspective on things. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss and pray the Lord will give you the love of family and friends to help you through this holiday season! Rick will be sorely missed on our evening trains!

I am so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing. We grew up together, played together, had birthday parties together, went Christmas caroling, had snowball fights, watched fireworks together, and lot's of other things. His mother, Bertie, and my mother, Virginia, were best of friends for 30+ years. We lived 3 doors apart. My siblings were Bertie and Uncle Dicks kids too. We went to Rick's 50th birthday party and had a blast. Ricky, you will be missed, but obviously God needed another angel, and you are back with your mother and father. The Myers family has lost a friend.
