Not sure what to say?

Dear Ann And Jenny, I am so sorry to Hear of your loss. May his light live within you so you may pass it to all you meet. I so enjoyed our moments together. Toothfully yours, Cyndi

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

He will be missed especially during coffee hour at EUUF . We would sit and chat about this and that and I will miss our chats over coffee and tea .

Thank you, Ann Vining for sharing Rich's full life with us. Your love for him and his for you shine through your words!

What a lovely account of Rich's life! I had no idea he was a set designer or that he created a large dragon for children to climb through! I loved learning more about Rich. I saw him as a quiet and loving man, and I knew he was creative. But again, I knew so little about the full life he led. Thank you for sharing his story. Please know, Ann, that I'm holding you and Jenny in my heart. .

I always admired Richard and Ann as I watched them raise their wonderful daughter, Jenny. They were a true team that became a true trio. Richard will be part of that trio for the rest of their lives - his art, his wisdom and his acceptance of life will linger with us all. I am sorry this ending had to come so soon. Love to you and to the rest of his family.

Richard, you were a free spirit, a true artist and an honest man. The world is poorer without you. Thanks for being my friend.

I so enjoyed knowing Richard. He was loved and appreciated. I admired Richard's artistic self, intelligence, great sense of humor, love for and dedication to his family... and incredible dragon he made for the children's museum! In conversations with Richard I benefited from his directness and insights. Thank you, Ann, for including Richard's wonderful quotation in the obituary. How blessed you are to have had such a compatible and compassionate husband as Richard, and someone who laughed...
