Agnes, I am so so sorry to hear of Ricky's death. I can't imagine what you're going through right now. Please know that I am praying for you. Remember what Christ said, "My peace I give to you, not as the world give, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding and He will direct your path.

Love and Peace

How do you express condolences for the loss of a loved one, but with love? Only love meets the test because its expressions are infinite and will ultimately strike the right cord by resonating the correct meaning, without words being said.

Ricky, you are a man by having left a loving legacy. We will miss you but continue to love you.

Agnes & Aigner, May God continue to keep you as he has Ricky,

To:
Our Friends and Our "Family"-Agnes and Aigner
We will miss Ricky- a kind,gentle man who always had a smile and a kind word. Carmon will miss running to Walmart and Kroger with him! He was an excellent family man who exemplified the saying "action speaks louder than words"-he was always doing for his family;always there for them. The last time I saw Ricky was at Walmart where he was getting food and other treats for Agnes-he wanted to make sure she had what she needed.
Agnes I want you to remember Ricky's "I'm O.K."- he is o.k. because he is with God. He is o.k. because he provided for his family. He is o.k. because he left you with great memories. He is o.k. because he was a good husband and dad, son, nephew, cousin,and friend. He is o.k. because he loved you all. May God give you peace at this time and in the days ahead. A peace that "surpasses all understanding".
God's blessings and God's Peace,
Carol J., Carmon Q. and family
