Richard Michael Thompson

Ricky, my grandson, thank you for making the trip to see me and helping to celebrate with me my 80th birthday. It was so nice to see all of you. If your grandmother was alive, she would have seen the nice young man you had become. We were very proud of you and are so sorry you had to leave us. May God always be with you and your son, and my daughter and her family. Know that I think of you often. Love, Grandpa Cohen P.S. Andrew, your Dad was a kind, caring and loving person with a huge heart...

Ricky,

After all the years of writing letters to you, this is definitely the hardest and the saddest one, I wish I didn't have to write.
My fondest memory of you, will be the time you gave me the unicorn glass box, you found at a yard sale, with your mom and Brian.You were so proud coming up my driveway, carefully carrying the glass box.You handed it to me and said "I got this for you " I looked at you puzzled, it wasn't my birthday or a holiday.....You then replied "...

Rick,
I miss you every day. I loved you with my Whole heart. All you wanted was to have a family and all I wanted was to spend the Rest of our lives together. I just wish the time we had would have been longer, I promis I would have given you all the happieness you deserve. You were the one for me.I will never forget you and you will remain in my heart forever. I love you babe!
with love always
and forever,
Stacey

To our loving son,Ricky: We cannot begin to tell you how much we love and miss you. You know,we remember when you were about three years old,you'd say,"Mommy,Daddy but why for because?" That was your way of asking us,"Why this or why that?" We always answered your questions the best we could. It just doesn't seem fair that we had to lose you so suddenly.......no way for us to ask,"Why for because,Ricky?" Besides,our children are never supposed to go before us. In tragedies like this,we can...

To my nephew Ricky, even though we
only knew you for a short while we
will never forget your awesome smile and personality. Your sense of humor and respect for people was great. You always treated them the way you would have wanted to be treated. I know you had fun in Illinois and would have liked to stay here if you only had your bed! As I write this, I see you on an old country porch, watching the sun going down over the open fields, listening to KENNY CHESNEY, sipping on a...

While we only got to meet Ricky for a short time, we want you to know he touched our hearts in a big way. We will miss those beautiful brown eyes and what a smile! We wish we could have had more time but will cherish our memories of him forever. His cousins, Francis and Zachary thought he was pretty cool and will miss him greatly. We love you with all our hearts and are greatly saddened that Ricky left us so suddenly.
