Not sure what to say?

I want to send my condolences to the family and friends. I have know Rick for the pass 2 years and he was a great guy. Loving and free spirited he also blessed me with the greatest gift in this world. Rick I know you are there somewhere me and Elijah miss you a lot. You will continue to be in our hearts.

Words can not express how much Rick has meant to so many people in their lives. He could brighten up a room with just his smile alone. Rick was one of those people that could cheer you up when you were having a bad day. He did crazy gestures, said the most craziest things to make you laugh & just enjoyed life altogether. He meant the world to me. He meant the world to all of his friends & family. All of my condolences to the family and much love. God bless you all!

Precious Memories

I have such precious memoriesof a church of long ago.That's where I learned about God's loveand the joy I've come to know.Week after week my familywalked through the church front door.We always felt such peace at churchand felt God's blessings pour.I grew up in that little churchfor years I worshipped there.I grew to love the young and oldfor I knew that they did care.Although a little child was II knew that God loved me.You see these faithful friends of minetaught me...

Amazing FriendThe morning light shone bright in my room,But something didn’t feel quite right.I opened my eyes and crawled out of bed,So weak it took all my might.As I stood there alone I felt something stir,Someone was there with me.I felt such peace and a warmth filled my heart,My God was comforting me.I closed my eyes and listened for God,The sun shining on my face.I felt so alive so fresh and brand new,He covered me with His grace.I wanted to stay in that place forever,Taking in all He...

My Heart Belongs To You

I didn’t know what love was,Till I fell in love with you.You took away my lonely heart,And made my dreams come true.The day you came into my life,A dream for me came true.And from that very moment,I knew that I loved you.You are a treasure just for me,A gift from God above.And I thank Him for you daily,That He sent me you to love.When you hold me in your arms,Warmth just fills my heart.You hold me close and then I know,We’ll never be apart.You show me that you...

My God

My God has always been with me,Through each and every day.I tried to pretend I could not see,And did things my own way.I went to church and read His word,Taught my kids that He does care.But often times my faith was weak,And I didn't make time for prayer.



Then one day God changed my life,He gently nudged my heart."It's time my child to give me more,I need you all not part."I knew He'd always been with me,I felt such guilt and shame.I know I don't deserve my...

My Best Friend
A day never goes by,When I don't think of You.You're my inspiration,My dearest Friend so true.You help me through my mornings,And all throughout my day.You're even with me in the night,You never go away.You're there when troubles find me,And when my day feels long.When I'm weak you carry me,And hold me till I'm strong.When I feel sad and lonely,You whisper in my ear.That You will always love me,And that You're always here.You never walk away from me,No matter what I...

All Through The YearsFriendships fade and friendships grow,Like the seasons they come and go.A friend is there when all goes wrong,They pray for us to make us strong.Special times we spend togetherWe've laughed and cried in any weather.But once in awhile we lose a good friend,Maybe a death or a move made it end.We hug our dear friend with tears in our eyes,It's sad and real hard to say our good-byes.But life goes on and we make a new friend,Hours of time together we do spend.We never stop...

As we walked toward each other
The years just melted away.
We were kids again playing hopscotch,
The way we did almost every day.

Time moved on; we both married,
Our lives changed, we moved far apart,
Yet we wrote, we called and stayed in touch,
We were good friends right from the start.

I have missed having you around
To laugh, share secrets with, and just look at you.
You have been source of strength
I knew you were there and a call would...
