Mitch and family,
Our deepest sympathies and our prayers to you, your friends and all affected by your loss. We can't imagine what your going through. We have fond memories of Richie and Taylor playing in their grandparents' back yard when they were young. Often they asked our youngest daughter to join in. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. God Bless.

WE ARE SO SADDENED BY RICHIE'S PASSING. WE WILL NEVER FORGET HIM. PROBABLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE PICTURES JILLIAN STILL HAS. WE WILL TREASURE EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM. REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS WAITING FOR HER IN THE PARK TO TAKE HER TO THE 6TH GRADE FAREWELL. WE LOVED HIM VERY MUCH. THAT SMILE HE HAD WILL NEVER FADE. EVEN WHEN HE WAS MISBEHAVING AS A LITTLE BOY HE WOULD SMILE AND GIVE YOU THOSE EYES. IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO PLEASE LET US KNOW. HE WILL STAY IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.
DIANNE, JILLIAN AND TROY

Richie, you will be missed by all. You were that type of kid that was nice and known to everyone. You put a smile on everyones faces. I just remember playing basketball with you the other week. You were a great friend. It will not be the same without you, and it will be hard to move on; but in the end, I, and alot others, would like you to know you will be truely missed.

What can I say Richie, you were way to young to leave us. You were always smiling when I would see you. You would come up and sit with us at our "porch parties". You ALWAYS made my kids (especially) Haley act up. She loved when you were around. Helped out with the little league kids and baseball. You will be missed and you may be gone but your soul will live on and always be here with us and surround us. Love ya and Miss ya!!
Thoughts and prayers go out to you Mitch, Lynn and Taylor. We will always be here when you need us.
