Dear Rickman family,

There is no way to lessen the sorrow of losing
someone so precious to your family as Mr. George
W. “Ricky” Rickman Jr.
He was friend of many and will be much remembered
and much missed.

But, please remember that the Barnes family and
friends care very much and wish your family strength
and comfort at this sad time.

We have the greatest respect for the Rickman family.
As you grieve, know that we are remembering your
family and honoring Ricky's memory.

Sometimes it's hard to understand,
Why certain things must be.
But there's a reason for everything,
Beyond our power to see.

And we find comfort in our hearts,
To know the ones we love will find.
Eternal happiness and lasting peace,
In our great heaven.

We know that your family has the strength in
them to move on. Your family will be in our
thoughts and prayers.


With Deepest Sympathy,

Leroy Barnes and Family
