I'm so sorry to hear of Richard's death so suddenly; you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I stopped by St. Francis of Assisi and enrolled Richard in perpetual masses and prayer by the Franciscans as my tribute to him. Blessings

Carole and I are sad to hear of Richard's passing. We enjoyed seeing and talking to him at our mini family reunion last year. It was a wonderful time to catch up on old family ties. We pray that all of Richard's family will find peace and strength with the help of God's grace in this difficult time.
