Uncle Ricky I love and miss you more than anyone will ever know, your birthday is January 20, 1947 and I remember you growing up and everything our family has gone through, I think about you and Sheila’s twin baby girls that are buried on the reservation in Rock Hill, SC all the time too. I’m so thankful for the years I had with you, I will never forget you being at the hospital with me when I was four years old and my appendix had ruptured, sorry I tricked you that’s our special secret. You helped build one of my favorite rides at Carowinds and was in the newspaper The Evening Herald. I’m thankful I got to talk to you before you passed away, I love you! Your niece, Tammy Kaye Robinson Shackelford.
