WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD, / ROSE GRMA TO ANGEL BRITTANY SYFERT Read >>
Happy Birthday in Heaven precious Richard / Janet (Mom To Nicholas Piccolo) Read >>
My mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said. But I can hear her crying at night, when all other are in bed. I watch her lay awake at night, and go to hold her hand. She doesn't know I'm with her, to help to understand. But like the sand on the beach, that never washes away... I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day. She wears a smile for others.. a smile of disguise! but through heaven's door I see, my mom tries to cope with death, to keep my memory alive, but anyone who knows her knows, It is the way to survive. As I watch over my surviving mom, through heaven's open door... I try to tell her that angels, protect me forever more. I know that doesn't help her.. or ease the burden she bears. So if you get the chance, go and visit her, and show her that you care., for no matter what she says... no matter what she feels, my surviving mom has a broken heart, that time won't ever heal. LOVE you MOM.
"MY DAD IS A SURVIVOR"
My Dad is a survivor too which is not a surprise to me. He's allways been like a lighthouse that helps you across a stormy sea.
But, I walk with my Dad each day to lift him when he's down. I wipe the tears he hides from others, he cries when no one is around.
I watch him sit up late at night with my picture in his hands. He cries as he tries to grieve alone, and wish he could understand.
My Dad is like a tower of strengh he's the greatest of them all! but, there are times when he need to cry... please be there when he falls.
Hold his hand and pat his shoulder.. and tell him It's Okey. be his strength when he is sad, help him mourn in his own way.
Now as I watch over my precious Dad, from heaven up above... I'm so proud he's a survivor... and, I can still feel his love.
Rick I MISS YOU!! Love Mom Our Song To You "Who You'd Be Today"
Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. I feel you everywhere I go. I see your smile, I see your face, I hear you laughin' in the rain. I still can't believe you're gone.
It ain't fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I've been through, Just knowin' no-one could take your place. An' sometimes I wonder, Who'd you be today?
Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams? Settle down with a family, I wonder what would you name your babies? Some days the sky's so blue, I feel like I can talk to you, An' I know it might sound crazy.
It ain't fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I've been through, Just knowin' no-one could take your place. An' sometimes I wonder, Who you'd be today?
Today, today, today. Today, today, today.
[Instrumental Break]
Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. The only thing that gives me hope, Is I know I'll see you again some day.
Some day, some day, some day.
When I heard this song for the first time. It was like Kenny know what I was feeling and what I was thinking. Thank you Kenny Chesney for writing the word that I couldn't say.
Rick's scholarship fund.
We raised $5330 dollars in the raffle for the car. We didn't raise anough for the car to be raffle so we had a 50/50. The winner got $5330. We also had a Ride Against Road Rage bike run in honor of Rick. We raise $2038 dollars for that. That means Ricks Name will go on for 7 years on the scholarship. We will be giving $1000 scholarship in Rick's name every year. Thank you everyone I couldn't of done it with out all of you. Love Sheryl

On May 30, 2007 I gave 2 $1000 scholarship to two boys that I just couldn't pick from. Thanks to my husband Ronnie and to Rick's God father Uncle Eddie, for donating $500 each. Thank you to everyone that helped and Road in the Ride against road rage. Sheryl

The Rick Germain Automotive Scholarship fund. Rickie scholarship fund has helped our family cope with the loss of Rick. If you would like to donate you can call Foss Motors at 603-772-3702. ask for Kate Foss. We need to stop Road Rage in America. There need to be laws on the books of all the states. That authorities couldn't do anything to the person that cut Rick off because there was no contact. Thats the Law in FL. I would like to make poeple aware of Road Rage and how stupid it is. And that it could take someones life. Next time it could be someone you love.
Tributes and Condolences
