Dear Lil & Family, It is with sadness that we have heard about the passing of Cousin Richard & I would like to extend our sympathies on the loss of such a beloved family member. From his boisterous storytelling to his sharing of the famous pound cake recipe, Richard made an indelible mark on me. My Father always spoke so fondly of his cousin & the adventures they shared.
