To the Bright family.

I knew Richard very well during my 18+ years living in Keyser. We attended the Grace Methodist Church during that time and I delivered papers to his home on State Street for five years. He was always a great guy and I'm sure he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Please accept my deepest condolences to the family. Connie you and I grew up two doors apart on Piedmont Street and I always thought a lot of you. Take care and God Bless you all!
