Liz and Mary, I am saddened for you on the loss of your father. I pray you will take solace in knowing that he is resting at the feet of our Father with your mother at his side. The two of you have taken such good care of him for so many years - take pride in that and and know that both of your parents are smiling down on you now. You are in my prayers,

I'm really at a loss for words. The cycle of life has us all speeding through life... Fond memories will keep Richard alive as well as the whole gang that were such a special part of my mom's life and hence mine. God bless.
