I am sad for the loss you feel for your beloved Richard. From all I heard and witnesed with both of you, you were truly devoted to one another. Remember Marie with all your heart and soul, you are never alone.

Although it was a very short time that I knew Richard, I was impressed how enthusiatic and committed he was to doing a good job for Neighborhood House. And even when he was injured, he planned on coming back when he got feeling stronger... God bless him! God bless you!

Marie,

Richard will surely be missed for his laughter and generous smile. The two of you brought so much love and caring to all of those around you. I especially enjoyed the brief time that we spent together. Dave Clough put it well when he said that the experience with you two was more a family experience than a friend experience. Thank you for your love and generosity. May God bless you and keep you well. Hugs and Kisses.

Marie and family:

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Richard and Marie when Richard was at Aspen Ridge. He always made me laugh while he was in Therapy gym. He was amazing man. Marie you need anything, shoulder to cry on or someone to talk too, you get ahold of me.
