Dear Eleanor and family,
We just got the news of Richards passing and we are so sorry for your loss. Since we bought your lovely home in Las Vegas, I truly enjoyed corresponding with Richard, sharing Christmas Cards, and keeping in touch. Richard had a tremendous, happy sense of humor, and loved to joke. Our Deepest Sympathy to you and all the family. Keep your fond memories close to your heart and Richard will remain always within.
Fondest regards,
Dean and Christina Gainor
