My sweet brother - I will miss you terribly, especially your laughter. You always looked at the brighter side of life even when the odds were stacked against you. And your loving heart - you gave when you didnt have it to give because you always believed that the Good Lord would always provide. Your faith was so strong that you never worried about anything and you were always grateful for all your blessings. I will love you always and will keep in my heart forever.

Rickey- I know there is a wonderful reunion taking place in Heaven right now. I can only imagine the peace and happiness that you are now experiencing. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to grow up with you. In the past few weeks I have been reminiscing and wishing I had made more memories with you. After mamaw died, a new chapter of your life began. I regret that I was not there to help turn those pages. You are at rest now my sweet cousin. Rest in peace and enjoy your homecoming. I will join that homecoming myself one day. I love you! Roll Tide Roll!!
