To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Thank you to all the support from friends and family. This has been unbelievably hard for me. Rick was my sun, my moon, and my stars....I will miss him eternally. Rick touched so many lives and really was a legacy in his time. He will be sorely missed by us all. I hope to see you all on Saturday.

I can't believe that Rick is gone. Starr, Pam, Travis... words cannot express the deep sorrow I feel for you. The last time I saw Rick, we hugged and had a good talk. I am so terribly sad. Rick was a very good-hearted and good-humored person who loved my daughter, Starr, for sixteen years. She loved him with all of her heart and soul, and I know she always will.
God bless you, Rick. You left one heck of a grieving fan club down here, but we'll all catch up with you someday. Peace to...
