“My older brother Rickey I remember as a child you would come home and tell me, Jacklyn, Dooley to get in the car and take us to the corner store and tell us to get whatever we wanted. You made our day every time you came home. You were a great babysitter even though me and Dooley torcher Jacklyn sometimes because she was your favorite. You didn't spank us; you taught us song and some slang words. Rest in peace my big brother.”
