Barbara,
There are no words to describe or to say to make you feel better right now, but as times goes by, Only God can heal. I know you lost your soul mate, but he will be forever in your heart, memories are one thing death can't rob us of. I always say it only takes a minute to say Hello, but if takes Forever to say Goodbye. We will see Richard again I know, it won't be long, time passes quickly when you are looking forward to something great.

I am just a phone call away if you need me for anything.
Love Betty
