Vicky,
You and I have had this talk about how grateful I was to have Ricky there for me when I was dealing with Mom's illness. He called on a regular basis to ask how Mom was, how I was doing, and to offer any help that he could, even though he was dealing with his own problems at that time. He had a very big heart and it showed in all that he did for others. I'm glad he's not in pain and suffering anymore, but he will be truly missed. If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know. Even though Ricky's gone for now, you will always be a part of our family. You and I have also had the talk about how wonderful you were for Ricky and what a terrific change you made in his life. The two of you complimented each other, and I'm sure, will continue to do so. We are so saddened that we couldn't be there, but we'll see you soon. Your in my thoughts and prayers and I love you, Sis.

Vicky:
I am thankful for all the good times that God allowed us to have while Ricky was on this earth. He was a good brother and would have done anything to help others. He will be sadly missed. I am also glad that Ricky brought you into my life. I love you, and if you need anything, please let me know. We can be comforted in our hearts to know that Ricky is with the Lord and he has no more pain and suffering. We can be comforted in the fact that this was not goodbye but just so long for a little while. One day we will see him again. I pray for God's peace in your heart, and I want all of our family members that went the extra mile to be there and to help in your time of need to know that from the bottom of my heart I greatly appreciate them and pray that God abundantly bless them. Love, your brother-in-family.

Vicky and Family,
Ricky was such a special man to many. He was a faithful Platelet Blood Donor at the American Red Cross for many years. His time was well spent helping those in need.

Russell,
I know you did not have an easy life, but I know you would have given anyone in need, the shirt off your back. I pray you rest in peace and enjoy the blessings of Heaven.

He was one of the most sweetest people that i have ever known. He was always helping anyone he could, from changing oil in cars , to fixing lunch and dinner for his family. He was always on the go, from working the long hours at work or just piddling around the house, mowing,painting,repairing or fixing just about anything he touched. He was the MAN! Thanks for being such a great husband to my sister and a wonderful brother-n-law. You will always be in our hearts forever.
