Dear Barbara & Family,
It saddens my heart to read tonight of Richard's passing. How hard it is to believe, and I regret not knowing until now.
I can honestly say that he was one of the most genuine and kind men that I knew. I didn't get to see either of you often, but I am fortunate to call the both of you a friend.
God bless you and your family in your great loss. May the wonderful memories help each of you in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Stay strong together, that is how Richard would want it to be. He was a strong man, full of smiles, jokes and was as real as it gets!
My deepest sympathy,

Barbara,
Here it is Saturday 7:00 pm. Tammy & Tommy just called me we just found out about Richard. My heart is in pain as I know yours is. May God be with you and your family. We had good times at Mack's Bait Ranch and guess what? I'm watching NASCAR racing in Darlington. Boy did we watch a lot of that.
May God be with you I know he was with me when Pat Pat went to see him.

With My Blessing,
Debby Bland

Mr. Burnsed was the best neighbor we've ever had. It was easy to see that he was a great husband, father, and grandfather. He was quick with a kind word, a favor, and we will miss him very much. We are so sorry for your loss, and if you need anything...we're right next door.
