November 25th 2008 , worst day ever !!!!!!!!!!! You were taken from my life, and all the people that who loved you soooo much. Fourteen years later my heart still hurts so bad, Dink I´ll never stop loving or missing you, your laugh , your smile , your big hugs & kisses. You calling me mommy or mom or old lady (lol ) If you were still here I would be calling you old man, cause now being grandfather of Baby Jakckie & Ryla , you´ve earned that name. I know you hear me all the time when I talk you , I just wish I could hear you in return. You know I don´t do facebook and share my thoughts I prefer not to put my self or business out there but today when Vett shared this Legacy post with me I decide to share with anyone who sees this , cause when you died we all died! You were and Alwaz will be LOVED Forever. I so love and miss you so Richard my baby. Love mommy

Hey Rich,
I can't believe it's gonna be 7 years tomorrow that we lost you. I miss you everyday, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you and the memories that we shared together GOOD & BAD. Your girls have grown up to be such beautiful, intelligent young ladies, with alot of Style just like their daddy. I got to say that every time I see little Jackie I have to crack up because you always talked mess about how many times I dyed my hair a different color, but she is alot like me in that aspec(she always has a different color). FAMILY GATHERINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE YOU LEFT CUZ, BUT WE HOLDING IT DOWN AS BEST WE CAN. #FAMILYFIRST

it's been a long time that i haven't seen my boy rich we went to junior high school together its properly been more than 5 years since we seen each other but i could never forget a person like rich when i seen him on the street those few times that i ran into him i always stopped him and we talked and asked how we were doing and catch up on people that we knew how his family was and mine i always offered him a ride cause since i knew rich he was always catching the bus or walking but i remember we were maybe 13 or 14 years old and this guy knew the whole bus route of the city i was like damm this guy catches the bus a lot it's funny i remember when he use to come over my house back in da day and my moms would talk to him in Spanish he wouldn't understand a word she was saying so she would make him repeat what she was saying with her he would blush big time red and he start giggling while he repeated the words back to her she would do this hoping he would remember it so that the next time he stop by he had something to say to her in Spanish I'll say this he was successful a couple of times
i had a lot of good times during those years with rich so it breaks my heart to hear what happen to him i would never thought he would go out this way i miss my old homie my sympathy goes out to his family and love ones
I MISS YOU BIG BOY UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN YOUR OLD HOMIE LEB

To A True King My Love Richie Rich,
Richard regardless of what anyone does or says I know you love us. No one will ever take that from us. I will never forget what you told me and I will ALLWAYZ remind everyone of who you are every day of my life. A TRUE KING NEVER DIES WHEN A TRUE KWEEN IS LEFT BEHIND. ALLWAYZ STAYS HARD NEVER GETS SOFT WHILE STEADILY KEEPIN' IT MOVIN'. KEEP TO DA CODE. IT'S A LONELY ROAD BUT I KNOW WHEN GOD BRINGS ME HOME WE WILL REMEMBER TOGETHER FOREVER ALLWAYZ I WILL NEVER FORGET ITS IN MY BLOOD AS YOU ARE IN MY HEART BIG DADDY I WILL ALLWAYZ LOVE YOU.
To all my family, Uncle Rick, Auntie Lala, Grace, Big Serg, Crystal, Tone, Dom, Dar, Vinnie, Sal, Frank, Joe, Lil Serg, Phillippe, his daughters Giz n Jac, their mothers Ash n Big Jac, Godchildren Jaz n Taka and the dozens I have left unmentioned yet not forgotten we are all suffering in ways no one can understand. Richard touched all our lives in many ways yet he never once turned his back or held back any love from any of us. Never forget who he is, a living legend, immortalized "the king of Broadway", True King of hearts, and loved by hundreds. PLEASE Never Forget how much he loves us all. Please honor him and respect his wishes. "Life goes on and you need to stay strong.Take care of my kids and business as usual."- Richard T. Barrett 10/08

Dearest Rich,

You were my first true love! I wish that we had more time. Through the years you stayed supportive and I appreciate that, I just wish I had a chance to tell you that. Thank you for listening to me when I lost Daniel, I really regret that you had to go so soon after, and in the same circumstances! I will have love for you always! To your family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I know there are no words to help the pain, but he will live on in your hearts, and his beautiful children. He will be greatly missed! Rest In Peace Richie!

Love Always,

Hello Laura, Rick, Crystal, Dominic, and Darlene,
From half way around the world I feel your pain for the loss of Richard. So, so many memories I have of Richard. All of those years with his smiling face and happy personality. I am sorry that I couldn't be with you in person, but I am with you in spirit. The loss of a son, a brother, and a nephew like Richard is so, so hard to take. I hope to see you all in late December. I rarely pray these days, but I surely did for my nephew and for you all.
Love Your Brother and Uncle Dan

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.


To The Barrett Family & Friends:

Our deepest condolences to you & yours. If you need anything please call on us to help.
We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers.

Richard will be dearly missed by all.

with love,
Yvonne Smith-Sundstrom &
