Happy Birthday, Pretty Ricky 
I Pray That You Are Happy And Well, Wherever You Are. I Miss You Very Much, As There Is No One On Earth Quite Like You. ☺️ I Miss Your Laughter, Your Energy And You Just Being YOU. It's Crazy To NOT Hear You Call Me, "Big Baloney".  Here On Earth, Today Marks Your Special Day. ..56yrs Today, You Were Born!!  A True Gift To The World. Know That You Are Truly Loved And Missed. 
Fly High And Fly Free, Cuz
   *(Stay with your Momma and protect her, she needs your spiritual love )

Hello Cuzin, today marks 8yrs since you've been gone. Ricky, it just doesn't seem right, you left too soon. You were a special cuzin and I will forever hold you in a special part of my heart. I wish that we were ALL back at 57 N. Trenton...that's where we were a real close knit family. I smile whenever I remember you calling me "Balony".  If I could, I'd turn back the hands of time...not to go back thru the awful pains and heartaches, but to have and enjoy one another and be a close family once again. Ricky, I just don't understand what is happening or even why. I feel sooo all alone and I'm afraid. I pray that you are truly in a much better place. I'd like to enjoy my older years but I have no loved ones. Keep me in your prayers and please help me, protect me and guide me. I miss you Pretty Ricky ("Is what they called him" . . .) and I will forever keep you close in my heart. (help me with my knees) Fly High and Fly Free.... 
Your Cuz, "BALONY"

*I Miss You, Ricky

HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY, PRETTY RICKY!!  I MISS YOU AND WISH THAT YOU WERE STILL HERE. YOU WERE/ARE A SPECIAL CUZIN THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET. TODAY IS YOUR SPECIAL DAY, AND I PRAY THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND ENJOYING YOUR DAY. I LOVE YOU AND I MISS YOU, CUZ. 
FLY HIGH, AND FLY FREE...
    MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL

Ricky, I sit and I always find myself thinking of 57 N. Trenton...thats when we were a family. I miss you Cuzin...I miss our talks and our laughs. You've always wanted better for yourself, and the best things in life...at a cheaper price!!  Ricky, I wish i could sit and talk with you, right now. Our family has gotten very small, and those that are still here, don't speak or visit one another. Its all ssooo sad. I wish I could hear you call me "BALONY", again. No one has ever called me that...where did you get that name? I love and miss you, Ricky. If I could, I'd take us all back on Trenton. A place where we'd be safe, loved and a family once again. Sending you big hugs and kisses, stay with me and protect me. R.I.P. and I pray that you are doing well and are very happy wherever you are. May God bless your soul. Amen ❤

Hey Pretty Ricky, (is what they called him...Lol) I miss you soooooo much!! You are an original, that's for sure. My life has gotten more and more empty, and I don't have anyone that calls me " Big Bolony"...Hahahahahaha  I miss my family, as they seem to be leaving this place on earth.  If I could, I'd take us all back to when we all were a real family at 57 North Trenton. The, you could be a hand-full at times, you were a silly and crazy guy. I really do miss you and your business thinking. (Hustling is more like it...lol) I pray that you are at peace and in a much better place...but, i wish that you were still here. I want to wish you a HAPPY 53rd BIRTHDAY!! if you can, send me a message to let me know that you are at peace and are here watching over your Mother, sister and loved ones. I LOVE Love love you, Ricky  Please, let the family know that I love and miss them, as well. Stay with and protect your mother.  R.I.P.
In celebration of your life here on earth, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRETTY RICKY
