Rick, Although we had known each other all through school, I feel so fortunate to have re-connected with you after all those years. I remember coming over to your place watching the band practice and you making us some killer food and drinking your favorite wine. We talked about your dog and your son and just enjoyed the evening with everbody there. It was a simple night, but yet so meaningful to me now. I also remember you, Renee, and Ricky coming over to Erik's in the summer time and watching you and Ricky swimming and enjoying each other. You made me laugh and made me feel so special when you told me the time in high school when you were driving with us cheerleaders to an event and you told me how excited you were to be there with us all! Even though we knew of each other, we had never really talked much until recently and it was so nice to get to know you. You are truly missed and I think of you and your loved ones that have to live on without you. My love goes out to Renee, your mom, Russ, Lynette, Chopper and everyone that knew you. I hope that their hearts will heal. You will never be forgotten but will definitely keep on being missed by many! I hope you are at peace now and know how much you were loved!

~Happy Valentines Day my sweet love~
I fell so hopelessly in love with you,
And I love you to this day.
You're my knight in shining armor,
The protector of my heart.
I knew you were a special man.
It was obvious from the start.
And anybody who looks can see.
That you and I were so in love.
We were always meant to be.
I love you my sweet darling.

I send your mom cards, love, support, and many phone calls each and every week. I know this has been a rough week cuz because of your birthday. We missed you for Christmas, New Years, (THE CHEESE HEAD Packers Game) by the way your team WON! The worst part of all we missed your birthday. I know how special you are, to your mom, step-dad and brothers. Everyday is a day without the outrageous smile you had. I know you are surrounded by angels, in the heavens. We will meet again, I love you Rick. I stay in touch with your mom, and know how sad she is. You will be forever in our hearts and forever on our mind. Love you forever!

My Broken Heart..

Lost Without You..

How do I mend my broken heart?
My entire world has fallen apart.
How do I find hope in a brand new day,
when the one I love has gone away?
My mind overflows with memories of you,
of all that we've shared, all that we knew.
I long for your touch and your warm embrace,
the look in your eyes, the smile on your face.
My dreams are filled with your soft gentle kiss,
I wake and cry for all that I miss.
How do I mend my broken heart,
when my one true love and I are apart?
My heart knows to love only you, it won't let go, what do I do?
Our moments together were precious and few,
but I cherished them all more than you knew.
I love you my darling and always will,
I loved you then and I love you still.

Our love will never end my darling.

You were smart, fun and the best guy to be around. I loved going places with you and you tought me a lot. You made things that were boring more fun and tought me a lot. I would never have learned without your help. I will miss you very much and I love you.

Ricky you will always be the best.

It's a new year everyone seems to say but with you not being here everything seems boring and out of place. Every time I close my eyes I see your warm smile light up every room. Your love will never leave my heart love you so and forever.

A Poem for Ricky the love of my life.

Renee Arlet

January 1, 2011

Like A ghost I flitter through the night,
keeping to the shadows and abhorring the light.
The night camouflages and no one can see
the shadow of the person that once was me.
The days lay me bare with no where to hide,
this raw pain that I feel inside,
You are no longer of this world,
you inhabit a place of no return,
no matter the tears or how much I yearn.
All I have left is your memories,
cherish them I will do,
but I would give everything I have for one more day with you.
So I will continue on living until the day you come for me and take me away. I will always love you my sweet darling.

Happy New Years Eve My Darling Ricky...

So far we have 59 entries on Rick's Memorial guestbook at Legacy.com. I have extended this site for all friends, family, and all who knew Rockin' Rick or previously Rick N' Roll. There was at least 400 + people at his service. Please remind your friends, to leave a message, or to light a candle for Rick. This is all free of all fees. However in November 2011 our family can purchase a memory book with photos that are submitted and all the messages sent by Ricks Friends, and family. Please remember there is a memorial fund set up for all who want to donate any funds as little Ricky still needs to be provided for. R.I.P., I am not resting well since all this it's 1:00 a.m. in te morning and I'm still up thinking of you. Love and miss you cousin.

Thank you Lori for starting this guestbook...

Mom

October 25, 2010

I never dreamed I would be leaving a message on your guest book... This is all wrong. Our family is torn apart and my heart is broken forever. I miss your infectious smile and your warm hugs and kisses. You always showed your affection openly and umconditional. Every phone call you ended with love you "mama" At any moment I expect you to walk up the path with one of your gourmet creations with home made bread... We all love and miss you so much, you were a wonderful father, brother and a loving son. I love you forever Ricky..

My stepfather Rick was a major influence on me. He not only taught me everything I know about music, but taught me a little about carpentry, cooking, camping and countless other valuable traits. Everything he did he excelled at and always was eager to share his knowledge. He was the PERFECT father figure and treated everybody with respect, as everybody did to him. He was an extremely talented person and will be missed by all. Rest In Peace Rick

Rick...I am irreparably broken knowing I will never ever see you again. You were a person in my life that changed me forever, and I will always love you. You taught me how to cook, treated me like a queen, and helped me grow up a bit, and blossom. I laughed like I never had before, and found a life long friend. I can't believe you are gone...I will see you again, hope you come visit me in spirit...you are missed. My blessings, and thoughts are with the family and Renee, and especially for Ricky.....
