To the family of the late Mr. Richard McWhite. I am sending my deepest condolences for being unable to share with my family the loss of Richard. I've met him when I was a little girl and he left many memories from the times that I have met him. I'm sorry that I am unable to be present for the funeral of Richard. But I would like to be able to meet the rest of his family and to get to know you. My contact information is 919-824-4625. Respectfully, Mariea S. Alston

To the Family and friends of Richard:

I send my condolences and sympathy to you at this time. Richard was dedicated to his family, friends, and his job. He was a good provider. He often shared what he could. Richard was Richard in his own special way, so all you could do was laugh with him at times. To Theresa and the girls, use the good things he did to build your lives upon. For this is his legacy, and this will make him so proud of you.
