I think about it still. At least once every 3 days or so. I feel this like phantom entity that people talk about when loved ones pass, watching you. It makes me watch what i say and think about sometimes for fear of judgement from what I assume is you. You know how wierd I am but I live a life that you would have been proud of I hope. I think "what would dad do" a lot I wish we spent more time together

Today being Mothers day, you would think I would be happy hearing (I love you mom).But, with one of my children,missing,I can`t quite enjoy the day as I should.Although it`s been 3yrs, it still hasn`t registered that he is gone. Will the pain of missing my boy ever go away ??? GOD,my heart hurts !!!

For all appearance sake, I'm making it thru everyday life. But my mind and heart are broken. It's said they will heal with time, I call bullshit. I'm still CONSTANTLY freaking out, I want to see and talk to my brother right NOW!!! Yes, I have my memories, dreams, I talk out loud & to myself wondering if he will hear...NOT THE SAME, NOT EVER! Love You So Much Rick, miss you more..

I assume that the Holidays are never going to be the same again. Not being able to speak with you is very difficult to cope with. I talk to you constantly, and cry for you eternally. I make myself think of happy, funny, or stupid things we did and that makes me smile. Or that silly sideways smile you always gave us when you thought you were being so clever. Merry X-mas Bro w/ love your sis

I`m missing you son! Especially now during the holidays. I am trying to get over the need for revenge,as logically I know it only tarnishes your memory, but, when your DAD can`t even talk about you with me ,it makes it harder to cope with. I wish I could have held you and told you goodbye, and that your dad & I love you very much.

Happy Halloween Ricky..I remember the times we dressed up & acted like fools. The stuff I came up with that you went along with. We had a lot of fun over the years. I'm missing all of the family alot. I hate when we move to new homes & we don't get to visit or speak for long periods of time. Especially this time, I don't get to determine when our next visit will be. Until then, love ur sis

Yesterday was the 1st time I've had a b-day w/o talking to my brother. I remembered past b-days when we were little, we would create different characters, make puppets, props, etc. & put on shows for our family. Their were 5 of us, so we had a whole crew. Our favorite thing to do was to make weapons, & practice being expert martial artists. I miss laughing,playing, & singing w/ my brother.

I Remember Ricky, As The Son Of My Precious Friends Brenda & Richard. I remember Him Eating Chili With Us One Day. I Remember Him Looking So Much Like His Mother. And As That Old Song Goes (I'll Remember You). God Bless.

I sit here wondering what to say- the warmest words to provide the most comfort to the friends and family suffering from the loss of Rick (I only knew him as Ricky). I wish all the love and strength could have kept him here- now that he is gone I hope it can help ease the pain left behind just a little. I am thinking of all of you.

In memory of my brother, from his sis Angel...I've added photos for family & friends to view & remember.. I will be adding more photos & stories. I've experienced alot in my lifetime, but I've never been impacted like this...I feel shattered inside physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have to keep very still and quiet to feel his presence..I will keep him alive in our hearts & memories

You will be much missed dear Rick. I'll remember the man who never grew up - forever full of the child's qualities that kept everyone smiling! There was even the added blessing of being included in the family where there will always be love to share. My love & prayers will always be with those you left behind long before any of us was ready!

A small candle lit for you Rick who brought so much light into the world with your generous smile and gentle ways. You left your mark on everyone that you touched throughout your life. Let us find peace in knowing that you have but left this world to go to your real home. I won't say good-bye - Just see you later.

Mind over matter, anything you put your mind to is possible

Ricky could walk on his hands, we both learned how at Karl Park in North highlands. Uncle Matthew taught us cuz we were both into gymnastics but walking on his hands Ricky mastered it and he swore he'd always be able to do it and he did. He was good at alot of things, his confidence was fueled by determination. Can you picture Ricky right now trying something over and over again stay back I can do this. He was cool to hangout with anywhere.

Rick will remain a legendary memory in the minds and hearts of all who heard him sing and shared the melodys and insane lyrics he so naturally revealed
