Dear Richardson Family, I was so saddened to hear about Crit. I have the most wonderful memories of being with all of you at the farm - Crit and Ronnie showing me how to ride and care for the horses - Especially "Pretty Boy" My first pony "crush". That time with you fostered a love for horses and riding - and for Crit - My parent's, Mary Etta and Hill Whitehead's dear friend - that remains with me today. I know you will miss him. My prayers are with you, especially with Virginia.
