Dear June and family, So sad to hear my cousin Richard has passed on. He was my favorite cousin. Benny and I were the two youngest cousins; our father being the youngest of those brothers and sisters. Richard loved his loving wife and children. That was apparent and I'm sure he was well loved in return. We can look forward to seeing all of our loved ones in the next life and I do. You all will be in my prayers. Love, Cousin June Dianne
June and family, we are so very sorry for your loss of Richard. He was such a sweet and kind gentleman. We are praying for you at this difficult time. We love you, Frank and Julia Jones
