Tributes
"We have so many memories with Ricky, growing up together and as adults. It is hard to choose any one particular time and place. I know when we were all young and Mom would take us to the store, Ricky Dale would have a favorite saying, that I never forgot. He would always say, Good Gravy, Good Meat, Good God, Let's Eat and he would always have an expression he did with his hand and lower part of his arm, because he knew whatever Mom bought from the store, it would be some good eating, because Mom can sure cook. I will miss you, little brother and I hope you knew how much I loved you. I wouldn't trade any of our family memories with you. They will always be in my heart. The bond we shared, can never be broken, as sister and brother. I will love you always, so R.I.P., sweet brother and give all our loved ones a Big Hug from us and let them know how much we miss them and love them."
"There's so many to pick from. I can't help but laugh every time we used to talk stories/memories the one that came to mind right this very secound is when Big Rick was hungry for home cooked fried chicken and all the fixings. Well something came up and couldn't have it at dinner time. Well at 3:30 am big Rick woke the whole house and when he hit our room he said y'all better get y'all some of this chicken taters and gravy and corn n green beans. Let me remind you dead sleep to fried chicken. I love this guy."
