I know how difficult it is to part with those we love, though not wishing that he should suffer any longer we reluctantly say goodbye.

For you, Virginia, I pray the Lord will draw you close during your time of grief and give you peace; even that peace that only God can give.

We love you and Richard and remember fondly past and happy times.
