Kitty and family, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you at this time of great loss. When I think of Richard, I think of his love of playing horseshoes and the straw hat and pipe. I'll also miss seeing him in the pew on 4th Sunday at Mt.Olivet as the male chorus lined up. Please remember that God will take care of you and he has a way of easing our sorrows over time.

TO Kitty, Tim, Terry,Tituts, Teddy Tess, Tammy, My heart was sadden to hear of the lost of your husband, father and friend to all. Keep your head to the sky for god gives you no more than he feel you can bare. Weeping will endure for a night but joy will come in the morning.
