RICKY AARON PHILLIPS


Ricky had a heart of gold, he was meant to help people, he fed homeless, took in strays, loved animals, and so on. Ricky never complained of headaches, he did battle drugs on and off. When he went to his friends house one night and never woke up, it is just so hard to believe he had a brain hemmorage. We watched my son die over a three day period. The only comfort that I have, is I know he died very peacefully. When we disconnected the life support, we held him, he never moved, it was like he was just asleep.


Ricky, why did the good Lord

take you away so young

only 22, my baby, my son


I know you had pain

I could have taken it away

If you just would have let me

you would be here today


I don't understand

why God needed you more than me

It hurts so much

its hard to believe


I miss your smile

and your loving touch

I want you back

I want you so much


My life is hard

to go on now

but you still have a sister

that still needs me somehow


I pray your soul

is finally at peace

In God loving hands

all your pain will cease


I miss you my son

I pray to see you someday

Save us a place

and we'll get there some some way
