Rest in peace my brother u will always be close to me we had a lot of good times in a few short years that I got to know u. You are a great guy and God has another angel with him. Love you my brother Darrell

Uncle Richard, even though you were my cousin you’ll always be Uncle Richard to me, for all the laughs we shared I thank you for those. You were always so happy and cheerful around me regardless of anything and you taught me to live life as happily as possible. I know you can now rest peacefully because you are with your mommy and you are in my heart forever. Like Hope said on yesterday, those who were there really truly cared for you and were meant to be there and you will live through us...

Mr. Richard just wanted to talk to my brother one on one to let him (my brother) know that he was...

I remember when we were in high school and you would run from me because I teased you about me being your aunt and I’m three years younger than you. I love you and will miss seeing you from time to time in Ettrick. May you rest In Peace.
Love Aunt Tater
