Dear Richard,

God Bless you. Surely now you are in the loving arms of God. I regret you couldn't find peace here on earth and wonder if you ever realized how special you were to so many. God Bless Mrs. Carmichael for all she did - now Richard rest in peace. Mrs. Sweeney

Rich..... I'm searching for the words right now to express everything going on in my mind.....but my heart is heavy, chest is hurting, and I don't know where to start...

I keep writing and erasing stuff, because I'm so caught off guard and wasn't "prepared" to say goodbye. All I'm going to say....is I will forever miss you....your smile....gentle heart...soft spokeness...expecting you to come right through the door when you came "home"....strength....courage...watching you Kim and David grow up from running around the house to running around town...your undying prescence...THERE JUST AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS


You're my little brother, and there's no real way to let you go. My heart is broken... I love you.
