R.I.P my friend. Sorry I didn't make it to the service. I am not good at those things. I am very sorry that I didn't get to see you. I had been stopping by on numerous occasions to see you. Love and Peace to you and my condolences to your family and friends. I am sure that we shall meet again. I owe you an apology. If this place is "such a better place" then how come we all aren't there? Everyone says that. But no one actually got back to me on how and why it is a better place. Let me know......send me a sign of some sort...........just debbie

Mom sends her love, prayers and hugs Uncle Joe. I'm glad Richard was able to come to the birthday party for you and Mom last month. Our last hug was a good one. I'm thinking that Richard will be watching the cars shows from whereever he is now. Jeff and Mike, stay strong for your dad and grandpa.
God Bless. Rose, Dennie and Mary Stella.

Jeff, I am so sorry to hear that your brother Richard has passed away. Praying that you and yours are comforted by the Lord's promises. You may remember that we met at my nephew's (Brian Gravseth) wedding and that I had promised to pray.
