Mrs. Bush, I was so shocked and sadden to hear of the passing of Ricky.He and i were good friends in school at Austin Tracy. He spent a few nights with me in jr. high until my Dad started making him get up at 4am. to help me milk cows before we went to school. Funny he did not want to spend a night with me anymore .He will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You and Brenda are in our prayers.

Brenda & Mrs. Bush, We did not learn about this until last night, and were not able to come to the funeral home today.
It has not been long since he and Ricky Powell came out here to the house and talked to James, but I was at WKU in class, so I missed them.
We plan to make a donation in his memory to the library; we are so sorry for your loss. Love, James & Becky Tracy & family
