My dearest Rich,
May angel's wings deliver you to the awaiting arms of our dear Lord. And as Aunt Mary would always say, "Ritchie is such a good boy." She loved you so much!
Rest in peace, our dear one. You will be missed. You will always be in my heart.
Your cousin,

Rich was a wonderful neighbor and friend. I will miss his witty personality, and his stories about his youth. He always made me laugh. Rest in peace my friend.
