Love, hugs and prayers to all the Broussards and relatives of Richard. What a sweet guy. Always made me laugh and feel good, and I am sure that was his effect on everyone who knew him. I do regret that my memories are too few, but one thing about my cousins...they all always make me feel like I just saw them yesterday. Special people, special brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather. We are so proud of his legacy. The world was a nicer place with him in it. Greatly miss having him in the world. But, I am certain that he is feeling good, is eternally young, and having fun forever.
