Cherri and Caraline,
I am so sorry about Rick.He did alot with everyone.Everything he did was fun. He was so careing, now if he was mean I wouldn't have cried. But he wasn't a mean person so I did cry. I couldn't help it. Those were the two saddest days of my life. I remember when we went fishing that was so much fun. I remember the gun he gave me it is still sitting on the top of our fire place. It was like I lost a piece of my heart when I found out what happened to Rick. And I...

Cherri and Caraline,
I know this has been a rough time for you, and everyone that was in yours and Ricks life. Everyone in my family has had our wonderful times with Rick and his jokes. He was the best friend that Bobby and I could have ever asked for. I have alot of memories with Rick like I drove my frist corvette with him when I was 10 years old, and alot more. He will always be in my heart I will never forget him. You and Rick were like a second father and mother to Bobby and I. I...

Cherri and Caraline, It has been wonderful having both of you in our family, and for all the good times we have all had out under "The Tree". You have been like another daughter to us, and Caraline another granddaughter. It was an honor to have introduced you and Rick and to sit back and see the wonderful life you both were building together. The day you came down and told me "Well grandmaw, you are going to have to do another nursery", well we could see the sparkle in your eyes. I...

To Cherri,
You are my sister and my best friend and I cant say enough about what a strong woman you are. You and Caraline are so special in our lives just as Rick always was. I will never forget all the tricks he played on me, or how he loved, and played with my children. I will also remember the joyious times in his life like when he and I went to pick out your wedding rings and you had no idea. That day he was so happy to know he was going to make you his wife. He couldnt wait to start...

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY AND PARTICULARLY TO CHERI,A WONDERFUL WOMAN

Caraline, I remember when you were born, and how surprised I was to see a man (your daddy)take the time and effort to fill out your entire baby book, as each & every event occured in yalls new life. He will always be proud of you, in everything you accomplish in life. Cherri my prayers and thoughts are with you both, even though I am not next door anymore, I am still a phone call away. I Love You Both! Randi

He was a wonderful addition to our family, and will be missed. You are in my heart Cherri.
