Dear JoAnn and Family,
Ralph and I have many wonderful memories of Rich and you JoAnn when we were working in the Cursillo Movement. Rich along with Chuck Lavelle also built our dream house on Pepperwood Circle. We live in Orlando now. We were sad to read about his passing in the online Palm Beach Post obits this morning. May our Lord Jesus comfort all of you during this sad time of separation and may we all be together again in Heaven.
With love and prayers,
Ralph and Yoli Cory
