I am sad to lose another friend. I will always remember the wonderful times shared with Richard and Judy. Such good times all through high school years and many more years shared together after our achool years, watching all the children growing up. I will miss talking with Richard and I know that he is together again with Judy. God Be with them.
My prayers go out to his loving family.
Love from Rose Posson.
