Richard was a kind man with a wonderful soul. I pray that he got to do all he wanted to before the Lord called him up. I miss seeing him at work but know he is with his wife now celebrating their reunion. May God give you comfort and peace.

Dear Ricky and Rene,

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. After losing my Dad too this year in February, I understand the heartbreak and pain. You and your parents have always been like family to me, and it feels like I, too, lost another family member. Even though our natural thoughts are to know that they are no longer in pain, and your Dad is happily reunited with your Mom, the rest of us are here, left to hurt. Just know that this is not a Good-Bye, it's until we all meet again. One day we will all be reunited with our loved ones again. May God Bless you all and bring you all comfort through this difficult time. I'm here for you both and I'm just a phone call away. I Love You Both!

Love Always,
RoseMarie Figueroa
