Now I feel that your heart has taken many falls, Still sometimes the rain, can turn into a waterfall, And the prettiest things, can come out of the coldest night, And even with those broken wings, you have found your way to fly.

Ricky, the last time I saw u was about 4 years ago. You had a huge smile on your face and I remember you being in our family for such a long time. It's sad that u were taken from all who knew u and all who loved u at such a young age but we all know you're in a better place. I'm sorry I could not make it to say my last good bye but please know you're in our heart. Even though we weren't very close I know u were close to my brother Angel and just to know this happened to u makes me so sad. Not a day goes by that I don't think of u. Such a loss for us but heaven has another ANGEL! We are still in disbelief. We will see u soon one day my friend. Rest In Paradise Ricky!
? Always, Angela Acedo, a.k.a. Angel Lopez little sister Angela Lopez!

Debbie and Family, Although I never met Ricky, Debbie shared so many wonderful things about him and it was obvious what an amazing human being he was. So many of us witnessed the strength of the entire family, something we can all learn from.
Rita Flores
May 17, 2013
Ricky was a member of our family for too short a time. The first time we met, it only took a few minutes for us to love him. He brought joy into our lives. His happy eyes and dynamite smile will be with us forever. The love that Ricky shared with our Monique was so special. Some people never find what they had.
Cancer is so limited that:
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit
May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with Ricky comfort you and your family today and always.
We know how much you loved Ricky. We did too, and we will miss him.
Love,
David & Rita Flores

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Ricky was an amazing person and wonderful friend always with those beautiful smiling eyes and kind heart. Ricky's story has been such an inspiration to me. His faith, remarkable strength and courage are that of a true warrior. The warmth, care and support of his wife and family during this difficult battle is so beautiful. He definitely knew how much he was loved and cared for. I am Blessed to have had his friendship for so many years and he will be deeply missed, his memory will forever be in my heart. I hope the beautiful memories of Ricky and knowing he is home and at peace can comfort you and warm your hearts during this difficult time.
