Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss Cindy. Hugs & Prayers for your whole Family❤

Rich was a good soccer player at lyc! One of the tiredness times I’ve been in my life was playing him. His team won, but we made it a game and close!

So sorry to Rich’s entire family. So many great memories I have growing up with Richie playing sports and hanging out. And was so nice reconnecting with him later in life. So sorry again.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family during this time.

We are sorry for your loss.

I remember “Richie” as a very fun and vibrant two year old who loved to play with his cars, stack blocks, and toddle after his older sister Leigh. He was always happy and smiling. It was truly a shock to hear of his passing. I pray that the good memories of happy times will help comfort you in the days ahead.

Dear Cindy and family. Big hugs and prayers for all of you. Sending you my deepest heartfelt sympathy. I know that there is no words to take the pain away. But know I am thinking of you.

He will be greatly missed. I met Rich through Kevin and we stayed connected after Kevin’s passing. I will miss our talks and giving each other a hard time. Rest in Heaven my friend
