First and foremost I would like to send my deepest condolences to Aurora. I will miss seeing and talking to Richard he always had the best stories to tell about his time working out on the dams. If you needed to know anything about planting he was the go to guy. But most of all I will miss seeing him and Aurora together in the salon. They fit each other perfectly!! Even though they would bicker about things lol. But through it all there was Aurora right by his side after he got sick. She was helping him and not letting him get far away from her. I think if she could have carried him she would have. I could just feel the lifetime of love that these two shared and it truly inspired me, cause that's how a married couple should be. Richard will be greatly missed and I will keep the both of you in my thoughts and prayers.
