To R.C.'s family and friends,

I will always remember R.C. being full of life and laughter...I bet he's telling jokes in heaven right now. Thank you Mr. Robert and Mrs. Lynn for sharing him with us for a while. It was a privilege to know him and to be his teacher. He has a special place in my heart. I love you, R.C.

To R.C.'s family and friends:

I almost felt bad for crying at R.C.'s funeral, because I had only known him three months-but he had already touched my heart. I can only imagine how R.C.'s family and closest friends felt. I pray for you all every night. R.C. was an awesome person with a beautiful personality-and God was ready to have him for himself. I miss him so much walking in to work saying "Ashland, my love, I'm your bar assist today," and him trying to teach a new way to count money. R.C.-I'll keep tying-just for you!!! R.C.-I love you and can't wait to see you in heaven someday.



WITH MY SYMPATHY-LOVE,

Ashland

Our dear friend RC,

I have pondered on writing and what I wanted to say, words are so inadequate right now. You came into our lives like a ray of sunshine. Your smile, friendliness and unconditional love was so bright that all were drawn to you. You are a part of who we are, and our lives have been forever blessed. Just as the cool spring breeze blows new life and hope; you are forever in our hearts our dear dear friend. Until we see each other again.....We love you.



Lynn, Robert, Tucker & Family,

All of our love.



Always,

Chris, Tracey, Tyler & Clay Snow

I want to let everyone who was as close to R.C.as I was that my prayers are with you! I loved R.C. with all of my heart and I will always think of him! I speak for everyone at Applebees that he was a true Applebuddy...always there with a funny joke and goofy smile! I will never forget the dinner he cooked me...his cornbread was the best I'd ever tasted. If anyone needs a friend or a shoulder to cry on, I'm always here for you. To R.C., I'll see you in heaven sweetheart! Have that bubble bath ready for us! LOL! Much love, Kerri N

My heart goes out to the family for their loss.I worked with R.C. at Abblebee's and had only known him for 3 months, but he was the type of young man that was so frienly and kind that it seems as if I had known him a lot longer. More customers ask for R.C. than anyone else that worked with us. We all loved him and will miss him so very much. God had a reason for taking him home at such a young age, even if we can't understand. You all will be in my prayers and thoughts, and I will never forget R.C. I bet he's up there playing golf or fishing right now. God bless all of you.
