Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Deloris. God granted Richard a long time to spend on this earth and then took him to heaven easily, quietly. That must be a comfort to you and your family. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.

Our family offers our deepest concern for Delores and your family. Richard is now in God's loving arms in heaven. Hard to imagine, after all these years we met through St. Mary Magdalena Renew bible study! Your kids helped our two through high school by tutoring and school stuff! God has blessed your family and will continue to do so. Praying for peace in this time of need. We send our love and concerns.
