Your hearts must be very heavy as you say goodbye to a beloved family member. I pray you will be comforted by the hope we have in Christ of being reunited in heaven. I will always remember Richard's strong faith and interesting Bible class comments. Thinking of you in your time of sorrow, Sue and Ron Shepherd
