Memories of Ricky :: Just so sorry

<< All Memorials

By purity - Aug 26, 2006

I feel as if I'm not sure whether I should be leaving a message here. I never knew Ricky, but I still cared about him. I saw the C4 documentary recently about him. Please allow me to express my deepest sympathy to Elixia and all Ricky's true friends and family, the people who really cared about him. I cannot tell you the pain I felt while watching that documentary. The tears rolled down my cheeks. I was heartbroken. No, I did not know Ricky, but I was still heartbroken. He was a precious life and as far as I am concerned, he died way too young. What makes it even worse is that he was driven to it by the evil of others. I remember years ago being stopped in the street by this cult and going home and lying on my bed and crying. I just felt so helpless and so useless. I knew certain things that were going on in this cult but knew I had no power to stop it. I went through similar experiences in my own childhood so I can honestly say I understand why he did what he did. I did not say I condone it, murder is always wrong, but I do understand it. I feel pain for Ricky and for everyone who loved him and misses him. I pray that everyone of you will take comfort that you were a part of a very special man's life. I also pray that one day, even though it may not seem possible, that some good may come from what Ricky did. May this cult be completely exposed, may people who have suffered at the hands of evil-doers be believed and may the guilty be brought to justice and receive the just punishment for what they have done. Whether they receive it on this earth or not, no one will get away with the evil they do, especially to innocent children. One day justice will be done and evil will be punished. There is no doubt about that. There is One Judge that no abusive cult leader or member will be able to escape from. Ricky's loved ones, may your hearts be healed. Ricky, may you rest in peace.
