Richard will be missed by all who came in contact with him. I only knew him for just a little while but he reminded me so much of my father, Gene. Richard's jokes and his smile would light of the room when he entered. Those we will miss the most. Our thoughts are with you always.
Denise and Family.

We lift you up unto the Lord
In this time of grief
We pray the Lord will be to you
The comfort that you need
And when you have no answers
To all the questions ’why’
Know that God is in control
And is there by your side
He understands the way you feel
And knows the loss you face
So rest in His eternal love
For there you'll find His grace

My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news
It never occurred to me, how much I could lose
I find myself wishing that it wasn't real
Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel
Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see
But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me
I’m glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land
I can still feel the soft touch on my shoulder of his loving hand
I lie in bed and cry at night
And I don’t feel any better in the morning light
And I will love and miss him forever
Until the day we are again together.
Together in that perfect place above,
Filled with caring, sharing and love
But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away.
And hopefully see him again someday

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
