Kim, I just learned about this today and had to write in case you do check back here to tell you how sorry I am. I am shocked and deeply saddened by this news. I will always remember your dad as a kind, generous man who was so easy to talk with and fun to be around. It was such a treat when you, your mom & dad would come to WV to visit or when I got to visit your home. What stands out most is how much your dad loved you and how incredibly proud of you he was. I am sure this Christmas has not been easy for you, and I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. (Your former cousin-in-law)

To the Atkins Family,
I am truly sorry to hear about the death of Richard. I have known him for many years through the Prince George Blue Sox. He never missed a game or function and was a dedicated member of the Blue Sox. He will be missed and never replaced.

Kim,
I can not express how sorry I am for your loss. My prayers have gone out to you and the rest of the family. I have many fond memories of your dad. He loved you and the kids.
Never ask yourself why. Just keep your head up, stay strong like you know he would want you to be.
I am so thankful that you were there for me when my dad passed away. I was able to repay my best friend by being there for you. If ever you need anything please let me know -- I will always be here for you.
Please kiss the kids for me and tell them "Aunt Jennifer Loves them".
Love you Kim, I wish I could make all of your pain go away.
Your Best Friend,
Jennifer

To Richard's Family;
I am truly sorry for your loss. I have known Richard since my first day at Richfood, now Supervalu. Richard hired me over 31 years ago and has been my mentor over the years. Hardly a day went by without us talking on the phone. Richard was someone that I admired and I appreciated everything that he did to help me at SuperValu. He will be greatly missed by me and our SuperValu family. I thank God for him and I will be praying for his family during this difficult time.
