Richard and Me

Jeffrey Hero

December 27, 2018

Dear Richard,
I will miss you all the rest of my days. We had many, many special times as Uncle and Nephew. When my father died, you were there to be a mentor and friend to me.

God bless you. What would I have done without you? I know you wanted to rest, and the Lord God heard you. I told you he would.

Fare well.

Love, Jeffrey
