Ruth, thanks for looking after me and allowing me to hang out at your house when I was a little girl living on State St. I have very fond memories of that time.

Dear Ruthie, Carol, Jimmy & Family,
My heartfelt condolences to all of you on the passing of Richard. As I've already told Carol, I know my childhood buddy is dancing with the angels, singing his own tune, and marching eternally to his own beat, as there will never be another Richard! I will forever remember him and his beautiful smile & mischievous ways, and always with a twinkle in his eyes! May God bless you & Richard and may we all rejoice in the fact that he is finally free! With love & affection, Weez xoxo
