Dear Karen & Family-
Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your husband, Richard (and my 3rd cousin- I think that's right.) My former middle name, Gale, was picked after Richard's aunt Gale, Corky's sister. I remember hearing lots of funny and loving stories about my mother's family while I was growing up. My mother, Tanya, was heartbroken to hear of Richard's transition.
Peace & Love From Florida-
Michelle & David Nault

You and your family are in my heart and prayers. Sincerely, Mary

Dear Karen and family: I was so sad to hear of my cousin Richard's death. I have so many happy memories of Richard, Gary, Corky and Red and the times we spent together. The sadness of his death reminds me of the loss of the times we all could have shared as a family. I realize that time, distance and circumstances prevented us from being together. I will always remember Uncle Red singing the song "Open the Door Richard".
I will always remember the first time I met you. You were so beautiful and Richard so happy. These are good memories! My deepest condolences to you and your family. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Karen, Josh, and Meghan,
We are so sorry about Rich's passing. You all have such a special place in our hearts. We have had such good times together over the years-basketball, baseball, and KSU football. I will always remember sitting by Rich at so many games, and he yelling "Josh-u-a"!!! He had so much passion!! We all loved him and you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Karen, we can not express the sadness we feel at Richard's home going or imagine the pain in your heart. We are in Texas and will miss the celebration of his life. May God embrace you.
