Papa,
He was one of the most important, bravest, and modest person i have known. I remember when he would give me and my sister a butt bouncer and i would akways ask him to do another and another. Those were the days, and there is nobody who could ever be good as he was. I love you Papa and I will never forget you! And to the family and friends of Richard Brunn, he would want us to move on with life and always keep him in our thoughts and not stay in the shadows. He will always be with us <3
Love always, Jillian

"For certain is death for the born,
and certain is birth for the dead
therefore over the inevitable
thou shouldst not grieve"
A wise indian philosopher once spoke these words that are true but not easy to follow facing the loss of a great guy like Richie .
Our thoughts are with him and even more with all his beloved now mourning and thinking of the good times they had together.
Rest in piece and always remember in heaven - you can't eat tags...
Michael , Andrea , Felix and maurice
