Richards Mom, I don't know you or your son. Although, I do know what you are feeling. My son died on Thanksgiving day in 2005 from a car accident. Richard is not feeling the pain that you are, it isn't his pain you feel..God will give you His Grace to see the next days ahead. Yesterday was God's gift to you with your son Richard, tomorrow is God's promise with him. Believe God's Word, Richard is in eternal life now waiting for his loving family to join him. Thank God for the 17 years you had with him, you were chosen to be Richard's mom and he became a "wonderful son" everyone loves. God Bless you and give you His Peace, restore joy to your soul, and heal your heart, in Jesus Name

Sincerely my heart,thoughts and prayers are with you. It only took one time of meeting your son for me to see the true beauty in his soul. It shot from his eyes and his smile right into you. My mother use to have that twinkle and his reminded me of that. There are no words of comfort but that your son was welcomed into our family, and I knew my daughters heart was safe with Baer. He will be missed, and there will never,ever be another boy for brianne like him. I know that Baer was welcomed into the kingdom of God too soon. My thoughts and prayers will be with not just today, but until it is my time. Baer was truly one of the great souls.

Richard was such an inspiring young man in life and in his passing. He blessed so many people, friends family and strangers. I've never heard a single bad thing about him. He had the sweetest smile and gave the best hugs. I used to joke with him and tell him he was my future husband when he was about 14. I remember going roller skating and ice skating and to the races with him and Baer. Today still doesn't feel real. My greatest condolences go out to his father and mother and family. I just keep reminding myself this isn't goodbye. Just goodbye for now!

December 2, 2013

This young man touched so very many lives! I will miss that sweet smile and his sense of humor. There are no workds to even begin to help you. Know that I am praying and I will be glad to do anything I can to help.

Bonnie, Jeff and Family, There aren't any words that can be said to relieve the pain that you are going through. Just want to let you know that my heart is aching for you and know that I am sending special prayers and thoughts your way.

December 2, 2013

Jeff-you've lost someone very special "your beloved son" what a beautiful person Richard became with the love of a great Dad like you-with a heavy heart-love you forever the Shaver Family

With deepest sympathy to the Baer Family.

How sad to lose a loved one at such a young age, it always seem so unfair to bury your child. It is my sincerest hope that the Hearer of Prayer (Psalm 83:18) grant you peace, strength and comfort (Psalm 65:2). And may you always cherish the many precious memories you have of Richard.

I am so hurt. Your loss is so big. Bigger than you ever would have known.I can't even write all I feel right now. Your smile, hugs, and laughter will be forever in my heart. I hope you and Ryan have played that "perfect" game you told me about. I will carry a bigger hole in my heart...losing You and Ryan is almost too much to bear. You left all of us with many memories and joy...just by knowing you. I love you. I miss you. Hug Ryan for me and I wish I could have taken your place. I would have. You are going to be so missed.
