No number of miles can detour the bond between family. I can only remember that sweet, blond headed imp that always made me laugh. My only regret is that I didn't stay in touch to get to know the man. My heart is grieving...not from the loss, because Ricky is kept alive by our memories, but from the pain that I know parents have from losing a child. Rick, Cindy, Susie.....I love you. Know that you are all in my prayers. I will forever remember that sweet smile that always made my heart sing.

Ricky was one of my best friends growing up. I just saw him for the first time in ages a few weeks ago at O'Dwyers. We used to hang out with Spencer and the boys and just laugh about everything. I remember going over to Ricky's in the summer and he taught me to drive dirtbikes. We used to be some mischievous little punks. I'll never forget the trip to the mountains in 7th grade and all the crazy stuff we did on that trip. Spencer should remember that one ;) Thoughts and prayers go out to all the family, and may you shine down from Heaven Ricky.

When I heard the news all I could think about was the last time I saw you. It was Tuesday night. You were wearing red shorts. I never imagined that would be the last time I would lay eyes on you. My heart goes out to your family and friends. You will be missed greatly.

Rick and family,
My prayers are with you at this sad time in your life. My pastor just did a sermon on death. He quoted and explained the 23rd Psalm,"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil;for art thou with me;thy rod and thy staff,they comfort me". Please know that God doesnt leave us in the valley but helps us "through" these dark times. "Little Ricky", as I always will remember was a beautiful white hair boy who was loved dearly by his family.

Hey Ricky, I wish I would have stopped to see you last week on my way through NC. To late I guess. You'll be missed man. I'll always remember the times that we had . If all the people that go to church are right, I'll see you again someday. It was a privilege to be your friend.
Your friend,
