Sylvia, In these times of sorrow Deacon Richard Brasher will always be remembered by my family and others by these verses
"I will praise the LORD at all times;
His praise will always be on my lips.
I will boast in the LORD: the humble will hear and be glad.
Proclaim with me the LORD's greatness;
Let us exalt His name together.
Psalm 34 1-3 / Richard not only lived this in life and in song. He will be missed by all that knew him. We ask that God put his arms around your family and show you the way to peach and only good memories
Love You The Mitchell Family
