I had to leave you laughing, because that is what I do
I know I left some tears behind, I know I left pain too
But I was needed else where, and I had to get there fast,
I'm sorry for the current pain, but I promise it won't last.
Remember me by my smile, by jokes and my charm,
I'm in the heavens now, where I can be done no harm.
I hope I left you smiling, please remember me by my glow
Know that it's love I felt for you all even if I didn't always let it show.
My biggest joy in life was joking and the laughter we all have had,
From family gatherings to being honored by being a dad.
I was a son, a brother, an uncle, a grandfather, and a partner.
I had the best of times, and would trade not one for any other.
I hope I left you laughing, but know that in my heart,
Joy is all I want for you all, even as we part.

Richard, I don't quite know what to say. You were taken much too soon. I am thankful that you are no longer in pain and I know you are dancing with the angels. I also want to thank you for taking care of and loving my sister, Becky. That kind of love is hard to find. May you always watch over her. God Bless You.

Tio Richard I am still in shock, its still hard for me to believe you are gone. I will miss you so much. It feels like just yesterday we were making fun of each other at our family gatherings. It will never be the same without you. You were the life of the party you brought us many laughs, jokes and most of all memories. Memories that we'll never forget. I will always have you in my heart. I love you tio. I know you are in heaven right now with no pain ready to party. I can picture you with a smile on your face with a beer in one hand and Marilyn Monroe in the other waiting for a good song to play so you can dance. I know one day we will see each other again and have many more laughs together. Till that day comes think of all the stuff you can make fun of me about and I will do the same.I love you tio Richard

My sweet precious love, thank you for allowing me to humbly love you. It was your arms I found my greatest peace, and it was your love that kept me on my feet. My heart is shattered without you but I am also rejoicing that you are no longer in pain. I will forever hold you in the deepest of me and think of you when I think of Peanut butter & Jelly..... Sweet midnight snack you would say..... Love you baby......

Nino, I'm not sure how to put into words what you mean to me, but I wanted to tell you how much I love you. I was always happy that my mom chose you to be my godfather, because you always made me smile. I have so many favorite memories with you, especially that time with my mom and the discussion about my first tattoo. I know you remember that story. I thought she was going to have a heart attack! Haha! The only thing I regret is that I didn't get to have that dance with you when you asked me. I think you intimidated me with your moves. lol I wasn't sure I could keep up and you'd put me to shame. I promise one day when we meet up again we will have that dance. I

Richard I am lost for words, You came into our family and really stepped up as a father figure to me and my sister, always giving advice, texting to check on me, checking on the kids, giving me a hard time, giving me advice, and always being there without judgment. Thank you for showing my mom what real love is. you two came into eachothers lives for a purpose and it was accomplished. I promise we will take care of her. We will see each other again one day and until then I want you dancing and laughing in Heaven. Watch over us and we love you!

Tio Richard you are at peace now with no more pain and I am thankful for that. You have left behind many great memories and a huge mark on the world and everyone around you. Everybody who met you loved you, you were that type of person. I still remember the stories you told me of how you were dating Tia Margaret and you had to take me on your dates with you, and how I always sat in the middle of you guys just talking away. Funny how when Samantha my daughter saw you she did that same thing to you and Becky I guess it runs in the family. I will always remember these times and how you always made fun of my dad with Nino Jessie, I love you so much and I know you are looking down on us with a smile on your face. We will meet again so this is not good bye its until later.

Dear Tio Richard,
I'm really sorry and sad because of what has happened. Although I couldn't believe it, I just kept praying to God to let it all be a dream. I remember when you were with us, you and Grandma Lupe threw candy at each other. I took cover and got a few pieces. I went inside and ate the pieces I got. I miss you tons and I will see you someday.
-Sincerely, Evelyn Contreras

Richard, it so hard to say good-bye and let go. I'm going to miss you so much but I know you're ok. Laura was just months old when you and I lived together in Dad's house. When you got married we still kept in touch, I remember taking Laura with you because Margaret's mom wanted to know who she was. I remember going to your house and you would BBQ on that brick BBQ, I think you made. I remember you always holding a video camera, recording everything we did. Every time we would see each other we would play fight and you would tell me about my hair and how much I looked like mom. My kids were very close to you, even Melissa, your god-daughter, although she was really shy. You will always be in my heart. I love you.
Your sister, Lupe

Tio Richard, I know you're in heaven but I truly can't believe your gone. I guess deep down inside, I was not ready to let you go. I prayed to God that you wouldn't hurt anymore. I worried about the pain you would feel once the cancer progressed. God did answered my prayers because you are now pain free. You told me how you remembered me as a child with my hair curly and how you would take me everywhere with you. My children don't understand what's going on right now but they will never forget you. I will never forget you. Please watch over all of us. Tio, I love you and thank you for the memories, the laughs, but most of all, being a part of my life.

Richard, thank you for the laughs and hugs and friendship. You were an angel to many while here on Earth and now you're watching over us from Heaven. It hurts that you're gone, but I know I'll see you again some day my friend.

Goodbye is hard when we lose someone but we will all be together again. You fought like a lion to stay with those you loved but alas it was not to be. The memories, laughter, love and fun you created while you were with us will linger on forever. Heaven is blessed to have you as one of their Angels now. While we mourn and the tears fall, we know you are watching over your loved ones. God Bless and keep you safe until we all meet again. Nancy & John Sanford
