Dear Richard and his family, although you all may not know me but I have heard enough things about you all to know that you were an amazing Father,aunt,uncle,grandparents etc, to your sweet young man Carson Allen. To think about when me and Carson were together and how he would talk about you (Richard) nonstop and say all these great things about you knew how much he really cared about you and how devastated he was when you past. But I know that you have raised such an amazing son and he looks up to you a lot, I understand that I am no longer in Carson´s life and I never met anyone of you guys or Richard but I wish I did because honestly hearing so much great things about you all made me happy because I knew so many people care about Carson and how Carson looks up to you all and just know I care about Carson a lot and will always care no matter what anyways I don´t want to make this to long so just know I will probably write again as life goes on because Richard knowing you were an amazing father to Carson means so much to me and your son has a big place in my heart and I love him but may you Rest In Peace, you are missed.

Richie,
from kindergarten, T-ball, high school, working together, and life along the way you were a competitor, a friend, and a mentor. So many times you were there to help me out, there to listen, or to make me laugh when I needed it. You are one of the most humble people I have ever met. I thank God for putting such a great person in my life. Until we meet again, save me a spot up there and take care of us down here. I love you my friend.
