To my Baby:

It has been two years and it seems like only two days.

My eyes are dampened with tears, my heart is remembering you and my mouth is forever saying "I love you so very much".

There is so much I want to say,
but I will say them in prayer to The Lord because I can pray better than I can type.

Son, rest on, you have done your work, mom is grateful and will remain.

You will always be remembered
and thought of.

Keep on loving, as you have been named by your friends as
Buddy Love, yes, you truly had a heart of love and a heart of giving.

Sweet Rest
Mom

I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Not a day goes by where we don’t think about you, Ricky. I’ve had a few dreams about you since you’ve been gone, and I would wake up sobbing in my pillow. But, I’m so grateful that the Lord allows me to be able to see you. I tell Becca how much she reminds me of you: from her beautiful smile to her strong, warm, loving heart; she doesn’t waiver, but stands up for what she believes to be true; she loves to be clean & goes as far as to not put her lips on any utensils when she eats .. just like you would do! I say all that to say, you will always be in our hearts, Ricky. I will always treasure the sweet memories that I was so privileged to have. Just knowing you was a blessing all in itself.. Keep smiling down on us as you watch your little girl grow into the woman God has called her to be ❤ We love you❤

Ricky Jr.
I can't believe it's been a year already. It seems like only yesterday we spoke. I can still hear your voice as clear as day. My heart is still heavy but I know that you're in a better place. All that weight has been lifted and now you can rest. AND NOW YOU CAN REST!

Uncle Ricky,

I can’t believe it’s been a WHOLE year since you’ve been gone. It feels so surreal; like I can’t wrap my mind around it. Even though I know you’re not here with us physically, I know you’re still with us spiritually, watching and smiling down on us.

REST IN PARADISE UNC!! Love You❤❤!!

MISS YOU.
HAPPY 43rd BIRTHDAY little brother. Mom, & I came to see you today along with some of your friends: Demond, Earl, Duane, Shamell, Ms. T, & Prestin. They all came to show you love. I still can't believe you are gone. This all seems surreal. Tomorrow will be 4 months already. I get through each day knowing you are truly in a better place. I heard what you told Moma at the funeral:
"Moma I'm alright Moma. You don't have to worry about me anymore. I'm alright."
These are your words that I will always remember.
Sleep on little brother. No longer bound. No more chains holding you. Your soul is resting & it's a blessing.
PRAISE THE LORD! HALLELUJAH YOU'RE FREE!

I Love you!

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU

Shawna Smalls- Anderson

September 19, 2019

My deepest condolences to you, Rev. Josephine, your husband, Ricky's kids, family, and friends. No one could ever know the depth of sorrow that you are feeling, but God promises never to leave you nor forsake you. We may be unaware of God's presence sometimes because of the heartache and grief life's circumstances may bring, but God's love encompasses you and everything around you, so you can feel his love and find the peace only the love of God can bring. May the peace and the love of God be with you all through this difficult and trying time, just know that this too shall pass. God bless you family.
