Mr. and Mrs. Richars...Please accept my deepest sympathies. Sometimes it doesn't seem that the blows that life deals are fair. There is just supposed to be a way things are expected to happen and this clearly doesn't fit that mold. That said, David is now in a place where we all hope to be someday and I'm betting he'll see you both again. May God bless you and yours and guide you through this difficult time.

Although with faith, friends and prayers, we are sure that it will provide the necessary strength. You are in our prayers... The Leeker's...Andy, Mo, Megan (aka - the cone kicker) and Kevin.
