ReplyDeleteI flew in from Brooklyn for Ricky's funeral. I'm just reading the comment asking about funeral arrangements. Ricky was cremated earlier today (May 6th). Over 200 friends and family came out for the view and cremation. It's just been so tragic for our entire family.
ReplyDeleteThis is horrible. It is also a trend that I see occuring where crime is moving further out into the 'burbs. You're really not safe anywhere any more.
