Len, Donna, Corey

I cant begin to express my shock and sadness at the death of Calvin. Another Richards gone way too soon. You have my deepest sympathy. I wish I could find something more helpful to say even though words cant help much. I hope you find comfort in family and friends. I've never been good at expressing myself especially with something like this. I hope it helps.

Dear Len and Family,
We were so very sorry to learn of this terrible happening. River was such an awesome young man, whose enthusiasm for life was infectious.
We so enjoyed his musical talent, especially seeing him sing and play his guitar at Delaware Day held at Columbus State this past April 12th.
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

Calvin was a band student of mine at BVMS. I will forever remember him happily tooting away on his saxophone, grinning at me from behind his glasses. Such a tragedy. Donna & Corey, and all of his friends & family, are in my thoughts and prayers.

I served as a chaperone at Lakeside for Youth where I witnessed River shine a bright light to many. He was always eager to lift a hand and give an encouraging word. He had an exuberant personality and people were drawn to him. He appeared to have a rock solid faith so rest comfortably knowing he's with Jesus. Prayers for peace, comfort and healing of broken hearts.

As with everyone who knows about this tragedy, we wish there was something we could do, but there is not. We can only offer our prayers and hope that they help in some small way.
