I am tremedously sorry for your lost.. Please take solace in the Bible explaining that when a person dies his existence really ceases, that "in that day his thoughts do perish." (Ps 146:3,4) It is my sincere hope that Richard will be able to take a part in the future life for the dead based on God's rememberance of him in resurrection (John 5;28, 29)... Thoughts and prayers for the family of Mr. Richard.
