My prayers and sympathies go out to the Hylton family. I did not know Ricky, but he was a close acquaintance of my son Justin. I lost Justin in August of 2002 and I know how very painful it all is. Please know that I will lift up your family in prayers. Sincerely, Cindy Riley

The Hylton's are a well known name throughout this area. Although we did not know Mr. Hylton personally we feel the loss just the same. Our prayers and sympathies go out to the family and close friends. May God be with you and embrace you in your time of need.

My heart goes out Rick's family. I know how our hearts are broken here at The Hylton Group family I can't imagine the pain his family is feeling. Rick was one-of-a-kind. Truly the nicest, sweetest, warm-hearted person I've ever met. I'll never another person like him. He will be in my heart always.
