I am so sorry for the family's loss. Ricky, Tommy, Marilyn, Lucy and I all grew up next door to each other. From birth til the 8th grade when we moved Ricky and I were best friends. This breaks my heart and I am so regretful we didn't stay in contact with each other. I haven't seen him in 15 years when he came to my Daddy's funeral and that gesture meant so much to me. He was thought of often. I'll see you on the other side David Ricky Byrd and will hold you in my heart and love you forever.
