Earnest "John" Rickard

To all of you, my deepest sympathy. I am sorry about your loss. I know you all loved him very much.

Ernest is a wonderful man. To me he always seemed happy. Always with a big smile on his face. Ernest and Gladys has always treated me as i was still a big part of the family. I loved to sit and listen to all the old stories they would locve to tell me. Especially the one about the shopping trip with Joe when he was young.(But what does it do)The too of them together may not have had a whole lot of material things but a few things they tried to teach everyone is pay your bills, a roof over...

WE ALL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. WE ARE SAD THAT YOU DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO MEET THE NEW BABY BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE TELLING GRAMA ALL ABOUT THE BABY SHE DIDN'T GET TO MEET. WE KNOW THAT YOU BOTH ARE WATCHING OVER THE KIDS AND YOU ARE KEEPING THEM SAFE. WE ALL LOVE YOU.

To My Family
My Grandma and papa,
Our grandparents were the center of our family. Whenever we were unstable or uncertain one thing always remained the same our grandparents were always right there, steady stable and unmoving. we were always secure they were our security in life. Now that they are gone Please always remember what they taught us. How to cook, to clean, our sense of family, how to love, and How to be good people.
We will miss them always
