ROTH FAMILY:
I learned with sadness of the loss of Richard this week. He worked so hard to make Buster a Therapy Dog before he died. I was proud to know him.
The world has lost a very special man. Please pat Buster on the head for me. I'm sure he is missing Richard too. God be with you all.

Dear Family,
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy upon Rich's passing. One of the hardest experiences is to feel the regrets of 'missing out' on special family occasions. Yet, the LORD gave you time to reflect, say good-byes, and make each moment count. May His Word bring you Hope in the coming days, allowing you to take from Rich's life the merits he gave to you. Each one may reach one in love, humor, and sanctity of life. Keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers. Lovingly, Penny and Jim
