Always my best friend. Always the love of my life. I miss you already. I have never gone this long without talking to you. I have no idea how I will live without you but I will figure it out for the girls. I told you I got this and I do somehow. Until we meet again I will keep you in my heart. I will never forget one thing about you. I will always be grateful for every moment we had together. Thank you for the most amazing memories.
My heart is just broken. I feel so blessed to have been able to come and see you last year. I just wish i would have had more time. You will always be in my heart, this isn’t goodbye,it’s until we meet again. I know your with mom and dad now. Just watch over all of us down here as we get through the greiving process. Rest in peace my dear brother
Rest in Peace Rick, I’ve known you for a long time, I used to cut your’s and Mikey’s hair, against your will too, but Dad was paying for it. I will miss your beautiful smile and those sparking eyes. Hope to see you soon. Diana & Dave Thompson
By the way Rick, you passed on our 55th Wedding Anniversary, thanks for that Memory of your passing, I’ll never forget this one. Diana Thompson
I would enjoy being able to say that I knew Rick personally. I see how much he was loved by his family. He appeared to be kind, loving, funny and kind of a jokester. I am friends with his daughter, Miranda. I see through her that he was a wonderful provider for his family, a real family man and one who raised his family with morals, faith and to be strong. I have witnessed the strength of God through these women in the time that Rick was becoming more ill and through his passing to our Lord and Father, Jesus Christ. My prayers will continue for the family for strength and guidance. Godspeed Rick Grubbs!
