Rich (PopPop) ..
You were an amazing grandfather to Richard and Kylie. We were blessed to have you in our lives. So many fun and happy memories we have that we will continue to talk about. These are the gifts we are given to keep you close when you can no longer be near. I hope you’re with your family that passed before you now, having fun playing golf and watching upon us all while we remember the fun and happy times we shared. Rest peacefully xo Kim R.

Dear Aunt Judy, Richie and Jeff,
It’s challenging watching your loved one diminishing daily under the guise of Alzheimer’s disease. You all rose to the challenge admirably, and now it’s time to cherish the good times and hold those memories close. Richie and JeffI can tell you not a day goes by that I don’t think of (and miss) my Dadit will be hard, but cherish the good memories. He is now at peace and probably raising a little ruckus in heaven.prayers of peace and comfort for all of you.
Let me know if you need anything
♥ Karen
