We are shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Richard. He was a good man and friend to all who knew him. To our friends Joddy, Joyce,and Jesse & Ricky and his family - our hearts are heavy for you. The road ahead is long but with trust in God to guide you, the way will get easier. God knows His reasons - we don't always understand - but He comforts faithfully.
We are praying for you all at this difficult time.
Love,
