I would love to give flowers to my friend Bugsy, Even though you're not here anymore, I got a chance to see my beautiful and outstanding friend; one who kept our friendship peaceful. We both were the same, each time we saw one another.
There's nothing I wouldn't have done for my friend, because we both were two that would do or say things which was so outrageously funny,laughed it off, and came back with soft spoken words to capture your undivided attention. ☺
My condolences to All The Richards' family, and closeness that will last 'Forever.' 'Bugsy will be greatly missed.'
