To the Richards' family,
I went to school with Nathan at All Saints' two years ago. He was a great person and I'm truly sorry for your loss. I wish I could have seen him one more time and just told him how much I really cared about him. Yet, I know I'll see him again and when I do, I'll be sure to tell him.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to attend the services on the coast.
My aunt, Jane Frye, who lives in Ocean Springs, just told me of Nathan's passing today. I wish I could have been there.
I will keep your family in my prayers.
With deepest sympathy,
Bethan Smollen
