Rickey and I remained very close after high school. She and I were devoted friends and our first born sons were born hours apart. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her. She was one of the most kind and generous people I knew. I was honored to have her friendship for so many years. After she moved to Arizona we had the pleasure of showing them around Arizona as my husband had travelled all over the state and knew where to go. We had so much fun traveling throughout their state.
