My heart is sad for your great loss. Ricky's smile and love of automobiles drew me to him. We had many good days at Baptist when we unplugged from school work and talked of cars.(we unplugged a lot) His friendship will remain with me a lifetime even though he is gone on before me. Our GOD is a GREAT GOD and my prayers are with all the family and I ask that HE fill the void that only HE can fill.
