Not sure what to say?

rich sorry to see you go my condolences to the family

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ricky and his family.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Sorry to hear of "Doc's" passing. I had talked with him on the phone recently and he was not feeling too well. We've been neighborhood friends since the '50's and had a lot of good times together, as we were growing up in the 'hood and kept in touch ever since. He was a great person to know, RIP, Richard.

We have been best friends since we were 4 years old, so your brothers are mine, and mine are yours. I was deeply saddened to learn of Rick's passing and I pray that my love and lifelong friendship will help you through the hard days ahead. You are always in my heart.

A heartfelt thank you for your service to our country. Rest in peace.
