My prayers and deepest sympathy to the family! Ricky was a "Very Special" lady and friend..I am so grateful to have known her. She was always special to me from when I was a kid in the old Lutheran church in Siloam Springs. I often thought of her throughout the years..She will be greatly missed by many. I just give my heart to all , May God wrap his arms around you with much peace knowing that she is with Him and much love.

Words cannot express. She taught me so much as a person. Her teaching was everywhere, not just at a school, and will still be here forever. She was like mother to me. The memories will never pass. My thoughts and prayers are with her family whom I cherish tremendously. She is still here watching over you. God Bless you.
