HM, Ester Ann, Lee, "Necie" & Barbara,
I am so sorry to hear of Ricky's passing. I still remember the summers Teddy, Ricky, me, Lee & Kay spent at our pool & at Magnolia Woods playing "Marco Polo" & jumping off the diving board. He & Teddy would do 2&1/2 flips off the board & swim 3 lengths of our pool in one breath. He was a great friend to us & brother to his siblings. I will always think of him fondly & remember you & him in my prayers.

Rick was my first supervisor and I'll never forget the day he called me into his office, in his best grizzly boss voice, sat me down, and as seriously as possible asked me if I baked the cookies that were in the kitchen. I reluctantly admitted that I had, and he very sternly said that if I ever needed anything, bake more of those cookies and it'd be tough for him to say no!
My heart is heavy for your loss, but the memories we have of Rick will always make us smile.
My deepest sympathies go out to his family- both at home and the family he made at work.

Barbara and Savannah,
You have been in my heart and in my prayers constantly since Monday morning when I heard the tragic news of Rick's passing. If it is possible to help carry another person's grief, know that I have been sharing a portion. May you savor and hold on to those moments of comfort you have been and will be given.

Rick was a wonderful person and, I believe, is now a wonderful citizen of heaven. I pray that God eases your pain in His way, a way that is only available through His Most Holy Spirit, and that you can absorb all of the comfort that He has for you. Let yourself be held in His loving arms.
