Priscilla and Family,
I am very sorry to learn about Richard passing away. I just found out this morning [July 15, 2008] from my sister-in-law because I don't subscribe to the Providence Journal.
David and I will keep Richard and everyone in your family in our prayers. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call. I will give you a call during the week.
May God Bless you and your family.
