For about two months now Rick has been on my mind ,and the last two weeks Ive been trying to reach out to him calling everyone I know in LA. even Val Young. I just wanted to Thank Him for believing in me. See Rick was going to put a new group of Maryjane Girls together and he choose me as the lead singer. This was a while ago and we remained Friends every since. But my #s were change and so on. I remember one nite in Baltimore he and I sat up for hours talking about things that were deep inside He told me the reason why he really knew he could trust me and love me because his Mother rite from the start trusted me. When I was in Buffalo he took me over Bettys house, she didnt want to be called Ms Betty And I was looking for this house to be a real big house but it wasnt it was a modest house but a real sense of Home. I have pictures of me with Rick on stage and with Betty If you want I will emailed to you also The roonm I stayed in a Ricks house in Buffalo I have picture with me and Eddie Murphy. Pitures of Partys he had at the house. Any way seeing him lying there like that hurts so bad. Last nite I had a dream that I was trying to find him and I was telling everybody I think he,s dead. My neighbor told me He Not Dead,then I woke Up I think God was sending me a message to let me know he is fine now. I remember 1 time I hadnt talked to Rick for about 3 years my phone rung I told my brother before he answer it that it was Rick, He didnt believe it when he answer the phone and it was Rick. I think Rick new I was trying to get intouch with him for these last past 2 weeks or so, I just feel it in my heart. So Rick If U feel me now, No that I loved U for who U really were, You will really be Missed!!!!!!!!!! TOPAZ
