To the family and friends of Ricky and Shirley. I am very sad to hear of your passing. Ricky , Shirley and I worked at Tupperware for many years. Break time was the best. Ricky was always so witty and Shirley jumped in. What a great couple you made. Hold your head high Shirley...you are a wonderful lady. Love and lots of prayers going your way. Until we all meet again, R.I.P. Ricky.

This kind boy sat in front of me in Algebra class. I was struggling and sighing as I tried over and over to figure out an impossible 'simplication!!' Rick put up his paper, off to one side, so I could see how he had done it. One of the things in life you just do not forget.... Unexpected and sweet kindnesses being one of them.
Wish to extend my sincere condolences for a soul lost too soon. He must be a new-found joy in God's glorious heaven. May God take Rick's loved ones under His wing and give them comfort.

The Jacks family were our neighbors for years and years. They were all a part of my childhood and I have many memories of birthday parties, Lake Archer summers and playing badminton in their yard. Nothing remains the same but our memories can never be taken away. Please know the Giard family is thinking of you at this painful time.
