DEACON RICKY
August 31, 1958- August 18, 2017
'
A precious one from us has gone a voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in the house that never can be filled. He 's not dead nor lost he's just gone on before,
He lives with us in n1emory and will for evennore.
God needed another angel to worship before his throne, God looked down from heaven god called our loved one home. Time has past since that sad day the one we loved was called away, God took him it was his will but his memory lingers still. Yes, god took him it was his will and in our hearts his memory lives still, So now the stars shine over the grave of the one we loved that could not stay.

ETERNAL LOVE I stand alone on the sandy beach
my tears flowing into the sea because I know you're out of reach
and no longer here with me You looked so handsome laying there
In eternal sleep forever The pain I hide is too much to bare
I want us to be together But I am needed on this lonely land
for a little longer at least to help and guide the people I love giving them reassurance and peace
so I'll be on the shoreline here to cry more tears over you On your birthday every year to celebrate our love so true
Until it's time to meet once more to hold and love one another as we did all those years ago
when I was your friend and lover.
THANK YOU
The family would like to take this opportunity to express our sincerest appreciation for the thoughtfulness presented to us
and love we have been given during our time of bereavement. May God Bless You!
