Uncle Richard,

It is hard to come to peace with the thought of your passing. Words can not describe the thoughts and feelings I have. From all the laughs we have had in the past over at Grammy's house on many Thanksgiving dinners and on Christmas day. I miss seeing that happy smiling face you had. Just know you will forever be in our hearts. Rest in Paradise Uncle Richard. You are missed dearly. Please say hello to Grammy and Aunt Thereasa for me, because we dearly miss them as well. You are in the best place any man can be, at peace, and in the hands of the Lord now. We will see you again in the future. I love you.
