Dear Johnson Family,
I'm so sorry to learn of Ricky's passing. I remember being a third grader at ICS, where your mom was my teacher. Mrs. Johnson spoke of her family on a daily and one day we took a field trip to meet Ricky.
Ricky and I became fast friends. I remember when I got engaged I went to visit and tell him and he wore a tuxedo to my wedding!!
Forever in my heart and memory my beautiful friend. Peace be with all of you!
Love, Kathleen Carey Harmon
