Rickie entered my life when I was about 12.  He became my favorite past-time. I carried him around with me in my bycycle basket,we took a few spills, but not much harm done. We spoiled him, loved him and he became the best man I ever knew. Never  smoked, drank. did drugs, didn't curse, just became a responsible hard working man. Also a Christian. He was wonderful to my children, they adored him.My youngest child was born on his birthday, so he was named after him.  As you can see I loved this good man dearly. I've never met annother man with so many good qualities. He was wise enough to marry Patti , giving me another sister to love. He's gone from the miseries of this world and with his Savior now.He'll be missed, but will still hold a place in my heart as long as I live....So it's not goodby, Rickie....just see you later!
