Ellen, although I didn't know your husband personally, I want to express my sincerest sympathy to you and your family. I was deeply moved by your tribute of Rich, L. It was apparent the love you shared and it brought me to tears. May God wrap his arms around you and your girls during this most difficult time.

Rich was a long time friend. He was the best man in my wedding and my daughter's Godfather. We stayed friends after my divorce and I will always appreciate that. I remember concerts and parties back in the day, but he was the happiest when he found his family with El. He loved his girls more than anything and never hesitated to share that. He will be missed...Rest in peace Rich. Love to the Henry girls.
