Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing. She and Don were the best neighbors you could ask for. We just heard yesterday that she had past away. My sympathies, prayers and love to all of the family. Truly a great person.

Many fond memories from childhood and adulthood. You will forever be in our families heart as we remember all the miles traveled with Daddy (Dick Fox) and Judy in the motorhome.

There is a saying that little things mean a lot. I have so many special memories of you, Aunt Ricky!
My earliest memory is sitting in the grass of the yard on S. Russell, patiently waiting while you transformed hollyhock blossoms into dolls for me.
I will never forget the knotty pine walls in that house, the old phone on the wall where buddy and I used to wait for it to ring, because Uncle Don would always answer, NnnYellow. I still chuckle when I think of it! (It was also where I...

We are sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful mother and very special aunt to me. Aunt Ricky always shared her warmth and love of family with me. I will always cherish memories of her. Please accept our condolences and sincere sympathy.

Saying or hearing Virginia's name brings a smile to my face. I have so many wonderful memories of working with her at Dart Bank. Her kind motherly words of advice. Her practical jokes and wonderful laugh. Inviting us to her home to learn to make her wonderful candy. Making beautiful knitted items for all the babies born to the Dart Bank Family. Teaching us how to sew cute little bonnets like she made for Caroline. She was a wonderful caring woman that gave out some much love to us. Virginia...

My sympathies to the Jenkins family! May you all find peace and happiness with the memories of your mother, grandmother, aunt. God's blessings from my family to yours!

We are so glad that we knew and loved this beautiful lady. She was one of a kind and will be missed by all who knew her. Heaven will be receiving a great story teller. Thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

Our prays are with the entire family at this time of loss. We all loved her as if it was our Grandma. We will miss her smiling face.

My Dearest Aunt Ricky,
You have been more than an inspiration. There was always a kind smile, a welcoming word and a inifectious laugh. I will never forget the house in Leslie, the kitchen and the living room. Life just seemed to bloom in your presence.
You were the glue that held it all together.
I can go on forever recalling the times in Aurelius at the auction, the home in Michigan Center, Missouri and on and on.
If there could be one wish for everyone that will read this,...
