Aunt Vicky, Regina, Shana, Granny and all, I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Richard. What a shock it was when I heard. I am grateful that I was able to come for the funeral, even though it was for just a few days. Remember to lean on the Lord, for He is the only way you will be able to get through this.

Love you, Leigh
