Dearest Kath,we are just heartbroken to hear about Richard. We will miss him. John and I know the friendship & love you shared with eachother.Our words cannot ease your pain Kath, only the love of all of your friends and family might help in some small way to comfort you at this time. As we talked about on the phone, John and I are here for you in anyway.I will alaways think of Richard pulling you around the pool on the raft and you getting "sea sick", I can see you both laughing with joy... this being the reason you two couldn't come sailing with us!! We love you Kath, and send you all our positive energies. The two of you shared a love that most people only dream about...

Dear Auntie Kathy, Mommy (Marlene), Auntie Marcia and Uncle Ronnie,

Words cannot begin to express the pain and emptiness I am feeling over the loss of Uncle Ricky. Almost a week has past now, and I just cannot believe that it is all over. I will distract myself and have a few good moments, but then everything rushes back into my head again and I feel so much pain, not only for myself, but for all of you. All I want to do right now is be with him; to hold his hand or have a cup of coffee or laugh hysterically at something he said. I feel like so much time was lost that we will never get back. But, I keep reminding myself that we should not dwell so much on greiving his death, but focus on celebrating his life. As I think back, most of my cherished memories involve Uncle Ricky. Our trip to Busch Gardens, the time when we went to Logan Airport and you (Auntie Kathy) and Uncle Ricky let Jennifer and I just run around the empty airport and jump on the shoe shine chairs, and when we went with Mama to Washington D.C. That trip meant so much to me. It was just around the time that I started smoking cigarettes, and I would try to sneak away for a couple of minutes to have one. Whenever I came back, I knew that Uncle Ricky knew what I was doing, but he would just smile at me and never told - like it was our little secret without ever saying a word at all. Just know, all of you, that I will always be there to share the stories, the pain, and the memory of one of the people I have loved more than anyone else in my life.

I love you all,

Marissa

Dear Kathy, My heart feels broken in pieces for you. You and Richard have been the love, life and soul for each other for so many years. I believe that it was the grace of God that brought Richard and you together as husband and wife. Kathy, it was because of your unconditional love and caring that Richard's Mom, his brother Ronnie and sisters Marlene, Marcia and all their families, your family, your friends -and even me- were able to have him with us for this many years after his most difficult illness. Kathy, I am not sure how to appropriately express my thanks to you for so many things that are in my heart, except to say, thank you for being the person that you are. Thank you for being you . You were there for Richard in ways many of us will never even realize. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to know you. You are a truly beautiful person, an angel among us. God bless you always. Love, Barbara Crowley

Dear Kathleen,

My most sincere, heart felt sympathies to you and your family. Although I did not know Richard personally I felt through knowing and working with you that I did know him as well. I know how much your love and devotion to each other carried you through the struggles of life...I pray that you find comfort to know that he will still be that source of strength that will carry your through the trying times ahead.

Please know that even though our paths have not crossed in recent months you still made a lasting impression of friendship and professionalism on me and I am forever grateful to know you.

God bless you always.
