So sorry Ricky for your loss. I will be praying for you and your family! ?
You will be greatly missed Uncle Rick. Not only were you my dads brother but, you was also his Best Friend. Here’s to all the good times we had and all the great music we listened to… Like the Big Wheel in the Sky… The two of you are together once again, like brothers should be. Arm in arm with smiles on your faces lookin down on us. So, as my dad said to me… I’ll see you On The Dark Side of the Moon…
Dear Crystal, I am so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. You and your family are in my prayers.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss Crystal. Keep the faith! Your MAC family is here for you!
