Dear Sweet Ricky,

I must admit that I was not surprised to see your name listed among those classmates who have passed.  Still, it brought me to tears.  In my mind you will always be that 14 year old guy who could have easily been voted most likely to succeed.  You will forever be intelligent, courteous, easy going and full of potential in my mind.  You will never know all the girls who had crushes on you.  I will always picture you with your easy smile and irresistible dimples.  The last time I saw you, you were obviously going through a rough time but you were still as much a gentleman as ever.  You will never be forgotten, but you will be missed.
