My, baby brother (Ricky Farley) will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. There’s one thing, for sure he never ceased to amaze us! He loved his nieces and nephews to the fullest and I’m sure they’ll never forget him always picking and aggravating them. As, for me I was his best critic, and a person that he could count on telling him just like it was when he did wrong and praised him when he did right! After all that’s what a big sister is suppose to do. I will forever love and miss him, and I know his spirit will be with me and the memories we shared will keep me laughing. Rest In Peace my dear brother! ❤
