Dear Huck & Family, Ricky was a blessing to our family. I can remember my dad getting Ricky all riled up every time we walked in the door at Aunt Opal's house. No matter if he was rocking in a chair, watching TV, eating, or enjoying music with a big smile, they would just be cutting up and laughing. Well I am sure my parents & yours were waiting at the gates of Heaven to welcome "Bub" right in. God gained another Angel on Wednesday. We will dearly miss Bub. May God continue to be with you and give you Peace. We love y'all! You are in our Prayers.
Love in Christ,
Chris, Leslie, & Our Eagle Family
