Carolyn, I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Ricky. To your daughter, and family, I am sorry to hear that you had to say goodbye so soon to a man I'm sure meant so much to each one. I will miss our lunch gestures in the hallway every day. He would come through on his way to lunch & I' d say, "It's beautiful out there, you are not going to want to come back," & he would agree. And then he would come back in & smile & say, "I'm back for more." Ricky always had a peaceful smile, no matter the mood. I always saw you two as a couple, because I never saw one without the other, & if I did, one or the other of you seemed to have a lonely look on your face as if something were missing. Trips to Wal-Mart will even be a lil' different for us, because so many times I ran in to y'all together shopping. I feel heavy for your loss, & though I can't imagine your pain, I pray for you healing, comfort, & peace in this difficult time. Both of you have been a joy to work with, & Ricky will be missed by so many.

Ricky was one of the guys I always looked forward to working with, or just having around. One day, while he and I were working on a machine, he told me of falling in love with you. He cared for you so very deeply. I know this isn't going to be easy, and I pray God fills you with His Peace, as only He can.

Carolyn, Nicky and family,

It's hard to find the words to say at times like this. In a small way I hope it helps to know how much respect others had for Ricky. Going to school with him from 1st - 12th grade was a honor. He was always nice. Even as we all went through our teenage years, I never heard him say a bad or unkind word about anyone.

Know that we will be praying for all of you. So sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort in the arms of Jesus.
