Grandpa – I know you’ll always be with me in my heart, but I still can’t help miss you (and Gram) more than you could ever know. I love you! XOXO ~ Lori
I happened upon this notice and my heart goes out to the family of Jerome Rickard. Though I do not know the family I wanted to convey my sympathy and share with you the thought from the bible that I look to at times such as these, Our heavenly Father Jehovah hates to see us in pain. A beautiful hope we look forward to is Revelation 21:3,4 where it promises that all those in the memorial tombs will come out. What a time of celebration when we will be crying tears of joy instead of sorrow. I again am sorry for your loss. With sympathy, Jo Edwards
Kerry, Lynn, Robin, & Gail,
My thoughts & prayers are with you at this difficult time. As you look around, you will feel the love he gave & all the happy memories you all shared over the years.

Kerry, Maggie and Brendan,
We were sorry to read of your Dad and Grandfather’s passing. We knew that he was seriously ill because of a conversation that I had with Uncle Jim Harrigan last week. Our sincere condolences from all the Ernie and Evelyn Gates Family.
John and Carol
Lynn, I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad. I know what a tremendous loss you must feel as I also lost my dad 3 weeks ago and my Mom 1 week ago. No matter how we prepare ourselves, we’re never ready to let them go. You’ve been a great friend to me and helped me through my difficult time and I want you to know that I will be there for you. Your father and my parents are all in a better place where there is no more pain. My prayers go out to you and your family.
Your Bestest Friend Carol Randazzo

whole family. He touched a lot of lives,
may you have comfort and peace with
your memories. He continues to live on through you and your children and
grandchildren.
