Thanks To You The Bright Stars Shine My Life Is Blessed Because You Were Mine Thanks To You My Heart Could Sing And Even Winter Seemed Like Spring Thanks To You I Have Dreams To Share; And Thanks To You Life Held Much More The Memories Of You Make Life Worth Living For

AN ANGEL IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

WROTE DOWN MY RICKY'S BIRTH

AND WHISPERED AS HE CLOSED THE BOOK

TOO GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL FOR THIS EARTH

SO HANDSOME, WITH THE SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES

YOU WERE A PRECIOUS SWEET SURPRISE

ALL LOVED YOU DEARLY

THE JOY OF THE WHOLE FAMILY

YOU CLOSED YOUR EYES TOO QUICKLY

YOU DIDN'T STAY FOR LONG

TAKEN, OH SO TRAGICALLY

SWEET RICKY IT SEEMS SO WRONG

DIVIDED AS WE ARE, WE'LL NEVER BE APART

YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE INSIDE MY HEART

MY DEEPEST THOUGHTS ARE HARD TO SAY

BUT I LOVE YOU IN A SPECIAL WAY

ALWAYS REMEMBERED AND SADLY MISSED TOO

MY LIFE WILL BE SO DIFFERENT WITHOUT YOU

When It's Dark Enough You Can See the Stars...

May I Learn from this Painful and Humbling experience. Please tell me that Ricky's Pain and Suffering was not in Vain.
May his Strength be my Inspiration.

Ricky taught me that Tomorrow is a promissory note only, Yesterday is a cancelled cheque
and Today is the Only Cash I have; and I Better Spend it Wisely.

Ricky will Live on through Laura
and all those whom he's Touched directly, or indirectly, with his Special Ways and Positive Nature.
I know that Ricky will guide me to find again the Hopes, the Dreams, and the Aspirations for a Brighter and Happier Future.

Because A Broken Heart Is Beyond Words It Is Impossible To Dress All These Feelings In Appropriate And Suitable Words, But Ricky Will Always Be In My Heart - As He Always Was. Our Time Together, Again, Must Wait - But Shall Be. Ricky You Will Always Remain My Shining Star. In The Wind I Hear Your Voice, In The Light Of The Sky I Can See Your Eyes. The Waves Beat As Your Heart; And The Stars Shine With Your Love.

NOW YOUR HOME IS FAR AWAY

A PLACE I CAN NOT TAKE YOU

THE PLACE YOU JOURNEY ON YOUR OWN

WHERE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF OLD AWAIT YOU

WE CAN NOT GO THERE TOGETHER

BUT YOU'LL TAKE MY LOVE ALONG

WE'LL SOFTLY SAY OUR LAST GOODBYES

YOUR MEMORY KEEPS US STRONG

BUT NOW I SLIP INTO THE PAST

THE TIMES I'LL ALWAYS TREASURE

THE WORLD BELONGED TO YOU AND ME

TO LOVE YOU WAS MY PLEASURE

GO WITH MY LOVE

IN TIME I'LL UNDERSTAND

GO WITH ALL MY BLESSINGS

INTO CARING HANDS

RICKY BROUGHT HIS CHARMS TO GLADDEN ME, ALTHOUGH HIS STAY WAS BRIEF. I HAVE HIS LOVELY MEMORIES AS SOLACE FOR MY GRIEF. THE ANGELS CALLED FOR RICKY MUCH SOONER THAN I HAD PLANNED. I'LL BRAVE THE BITTER GRIEF THAT COMES, AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

WE CAN BE SURE THAT RICKY IS NOW ETERNALLY AT PEACE. NOTHING CAN DETRACT FROM THE JOY AND THE BEAUTY I SHARED WITH RICKY. NOTHING CAN POSSIBLY AFFECT THE HAPPINESS AND THE DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE THAT HE HIMSELF KNEW.

GOD HAS TAKEN HIM AWAY

FOR WHAT REASON I CAN NOT SAY

BUT NOW IN GOD'S GARDEN

RICKY WILL PEACEFULLY PLAY

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE SO SACRED AND SWEET

THE GIVER OF JOY SO DEEP AND COMPLETE

PRECIOUS AND PRICELESS, SO LOVABLE TOO

THE WORLD'S SWEETEST MIRACLE, RICKY IS YOU

Thank You for being Visitor Number

since 1 January 2001.
