I am so sorry for your loss. May God hold you close as you grieve for your love one. Barbara Thurman

I am so shocked at Ricky's passing as I spoke to him not very long ago. Ricky was a devoted family man and a devoted follower of Christ! He and Tammy allowed me to have a very meaningful Emmaus walk a few years back. Ricky was there for every special event they had supporting Priscila and me. I know how well he was loved by all and rightly so. He is now reaping his rewards for a life well-lived. His faith is now sight as we stand on His promises and find peace in knowing Ricky is with his beloved Savior. May God comfort his precious wife, Tammy, and his beautiful family. May all that Ricky has gained help you deal with his loss here on earth. Love you Tammy, covering you all in prayer. Susan
