When your hearts are empty, filling them with happy memories of "Mr. Richardson" can help you find your smile again, you'll see!
Since I was eight (8) years of age, I can always remember Mr. Richardson greeting me at the door as I entered Woodlawn...Oh how he loved to greet us! It really didn't matter how sad you were, how bad you looked, or how slow you were, he always had encouraging and kind words that would bring a smile out as you entered the doors of his beloved, Woodlawn...
