My brother Rickie, H


He was sweet,funny,wild and silly at times, he loved his family very much, born to Betty and John McClellan, brother to 5 sister's Janie-Deceased, Terry, Karen, Verna, and Christine, 1 brother, John, Rickie has also got 5 Kids, James, Lora, Rickie Jr, Na Na, and Rinnie, Rickie has Several grkids and great grkids, he was a stranger to know one, most everyone who met him like him alot, Rick, liked Car's he liked to drive them too fast got him into alot of trouble when he was younger LOL!!!!!!!!!, most of Rick's jobs were driving trucks and delivering products or cars and trucks to other places, he worked in a factory a time or two but didn't really like the inside work would rather be outside, Rick started get health problems around 1998 he had a major heart attack, with resluted in a triple by-pass, then later other things started getting bad, then in Janurary of 2008 he was diagnosised with leukemia, it scared me so bad, I knew I would lose my brother fast, I told my older sister terry that he would not live through the rest of this year, and then on Oct 20th 2008 he had to go back to the hospital for more Kemo, and while he was there got a bad bowel infection, and then things started going haywire with him organs started shutting down then they came out and told us he had a 10% chance of surviving, so the kids had to make that dreaded decision to turn off life supports, my heart broke for them and myself as it hurt to lose my best friend and brother, then came the awful day to put him to rest, I went to the funeral home and I saw him and starting hyuperventalating i could not breathe for anything so I knew then I had to leave, I am so sorry I didn't tell anyone I was leaving but I just could not face them, it hurt too much for me and them too, but they all no I love them very much.

Love and Miss you Brother

A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side

Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
