So many memories... The day he was born, baby-sitting, sweet baby smells,hair that swayed in the breeze, his first steps, his flippers, a rescue mission in Grandma's pond, going to school, hanging out with his cousins, "pop a magazine and money", thumbs up, a rock band, dancing at Jennifer's wedding, "playing" with the baby chicks and kittys... yikes", The way he would pat your back when you'd hug him, unconditional love. God knew what He was doing when he decided that Judy, Bud, Kathy, Robin and Mike would be Ricky's family. He was truely loved. We'll miss him but know that he's in heaven visiting with the family there.

I remember being kids at Judy and Bud's house playing with all the cousins and Ricky would have a favorite bike he liked to push around and I remember his fiddle sticks he would have with him. In later years I didn't always get to see him much, but I will miss him so very much!!
All angels go to heaven. I Love you, Ricky Girl Jeri
