Richard Alan McCracken

May 12, 1974 - October 6, 1987

Born into a world unforgiving of human frailties, lived life bravely and with great zeal, Died too soon.........

To my family and friends... Thank You for loving Ricky as I loved him...

To Ricky.... I know you are with me, I feel you near me always....I love you ... I miss you.... Always in my Heart.......MOM


RICKY
Life is for the living
and death is for the dead
But there's a lot for us to learn
by hearing what he said

He said Eagles are forever
just circling around
And when I leave this body
I'll never touch the ground

I've paid the price of blood and tears
and pain that i've endured
But now I must be moving on
my destiny's secured

He said people never listened
because I was a kid
but they didn't live the life I lived
or feel the things I did

He said I see an eagle
perched atop a tree
and when this life is over
that's the life for me.
