Three years have passed...

..since your passing.

We have been living our lives without you; but we keep your memory bright.

When we gather together it is never long before one says "Ricky would have loved this.."

All that is needed are the words, "Ricky would not have...." and actions are changed.

The Girls are all doing well. Mine have started Grammar School this year, as well as gone skiing and traveled across America. Yours have moved house, developed and started to once again move forward.

Tony manages well despite all that befalls him. These last few months he once again seems his old self.

I am sure that you would not be surprised at the actions of our parents and siblings since your passing. You would not have been happy though at the way that they have gone. Others at times cannot believe that they have cut off your family.

I miss the fact that you are no longer at the end of a telephone line. I would have loved to have shared with you ALL that has passed these 996 days that you have been gone, good and bad. I am sure that if I could my life would have been enriched.
