Ruth, I am so sorry to hear about your son. I am sure
he was very special. I did not know him, but I knew you
at CS. We were 1946 graduates. May God Bless you
in your sorrow.

Mrs. Prassel and Lisa:
I went to school and played little league with Ricky. I was very saddened to learn of his battle with Cancer. I never doubted when we were growing up that Ricky could make and have the impact on peoples lives like he did in his ministry, Our prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

Ruth, Lisa and family members. We mourn for the loss of of your son and brother, Ricky. We think of the early fun times and playing in the snow with all the Prassell Street Kids. We also know that Ricky made a huge difference in the souls of God's people. We think of only good when remembering Ricky Prassell. We do love you all.
