Richard, I didn't know you but feel I do now. My son Benny Jr passed away July 15,2014. He was 33. I have become great friends with your mom. Please send her some peace. She's having a really hard time. I see her in your smile. Say hello to my son for me and my husband Benny Sr. Most importantly send your mom a sign, something only she could know,please!! Even if you can't read in Heaven this message, God can. I'm counting on him to relay it to you.

My prayers are with you Patti, George,Rosie,Larry & Michael.I had the pleasure of seeing Richard a lot since he worked at Clairemont Rentals, he always came over to see his cuz. We spent time talking about family.When he went to the Towing Co.he still came by to recycle and talk with me. When my dad died he was so concerned about mom and our family. He told me that dad's funeral was the best he'd ever been to. He said there was so much love there. I will miss those talks with my cuz so very much. Rest in Peace Richard.. Love, Lisa
