Margaret and Santos family, I pray that the Grace of GOD will be with you all, and I am deeply sorry that a good person has been taken away from the family and all who knew him directly, or through another family.
There are times I wonder why GOD would allow the life of a good person to cease to exist among us.But, I read in Isaiah 55:8-9, For my thoughts are not your thought,neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. GOD is all knowing.

To The Santos Family:
My family and I send our heartfelt condolences to your family on the sudden passing of Ritchie Santos, my cousin. I and my family were so shocked to hear about the untimely passing of my cousin, Ritchie. Ritchie was a great cousin and they don't come no finer than him. He was known in the basketball world as "Ritchie Santos" who played basketball for R.I. Junior College N/K/A CCRI, and then played for Providence College (#30)as MVP, with former colleague Marvin Barnes. He loved Basketball and that was a big part of his life, that truly was shown as he spent time teaching youngsters the sport in the afterschool programs while he resided in Bermuda. He will never be forgotten. May the Lord shower his peace and love over his family and give them the strength to go forward in their time of need. Suzanne, our prayers are with you and the family.

To Bermuda Family: We are all in this together...we are family brought together with patches of love interwoven forever by our youngest brother, Richie. We thank you Suzanne and family for showering Rick with love all these many, many years that he resided in Bermuda and a special thanks to Pat for providing him with the love of a second mother. We love and appreciate everything that all of you did to make Bermuda Rick's home, away from home. He loved you all as well as the Island. This is a big loss and our hearts are weighing heavy but we know that Rick's sweet spirit and love will live on in all of us. R.I.P. Brother Richie
Brother, we love and miss you immensely. You will always be in our hearts. We have consolation in knowing that you have joined our beloved mother, father and brothers. We will carry your heart in our hearts forever.
