Not a day goes by that I don't think about you Ricky. I miss laughing with you and at how witty you always were when you teased people. You had a special way of doing that and people enjoyed it weather it was cause you were mad or just playing. Nobody could ever take your place out here. Luv u so much Ricky

THANKS FOR KEEPIN HIM ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS ....AND RICKY JETHRO AND MATT ALWAYS SEND THEIR LOVE PLEASE WATCH OVER MY KIDS AND JETHRO RIGHT NOW LOVE U MY FRIEND

Ricky loved to have his arms rubbed real soft at night so that he could really relax and rest so he would say to me, can I get some rubs and I knew that was my cue.  Sometimes i would have a hard time staying awake and nod off but Ricky would say, rubs rose and I would rub away until he would fall asleep. I miss everything about you crazy man.  Sure do miss your funny self and playing majooo, so we called it... I gave u a run on the darts tho.  You took a big piece of me with you Ricky. 

about 4 years ago Ricky and I took a trip to California just before Christmas about this same time of year but only it was snowing out and we were so excited to just be leaving town in this fancy car we had rented and just get away for a few days. The snow was really coming down and all Ricky could say was "look Rose, isn't it beautiful" . I could tell by the look in his eye's that he was so happy and truly appreciated the beauty of every part of our trip and would remind me that every snow flake was different. He was so content and at peace that day that it made me feel so blessed to be his friend . We sang songs out loud all the way and laughed out loud at how good we sounded...  He could sing but i couldn't but I felt so comfortable around Ricky that I just let her rip and sang too. He was always such a gentlemen. Ricky carried our bags when we got to our motel and made sure everything was put in its proper places, tooth brushes clothes, ect. He always found something to talk about and we really enjoyed each others company. We had met over 20 years ago and everyday of knowing him was special. You just never knew what today would bring!!Ricky was Blessed with a very kind heart and lots of friends and a great loving family. I Will Always Love and Miss U.....
