My peace my peace is all I´ve got that I can give to you
My peace is all I ever had that´s all I ever knew
I give my peace to green and black and red and white and blue
My peace my peace is all I´ve got that I can give to you

My peace, my peace is all I´ve got and all I've ever known
My peace is worth a thousand times more than anything I own
I pass my peace around and about `cross hands of every hue;
I guess my peace is justa `bout all I´ve got to give to you

Miss you Rich,
Peace
Donna

Love and miss you Rich. Rest in Peace. Donna, Jim, Anna, Amy

Dear Melissa, my deepest condolences! Cousin Richie was such a sweet person and we loved seeing him at Grandma Sadie & Grandpa Pasquale in Brooklyn on Sundays. It looked like he had a wonderful life with you. It's sad it was so short. Our hearts and prayers are with you. Love, cousin Chris

He will for sure be with you through those fond memories.

Take care,
