Uncle Richard and auntie were truly an inspiration for so many. There is an empty spot now, but the emptiness is filled with wonderful memories that will stay with us the rest of our life. Thank you for making such a difference for so many.

It truly breaks my heart, just like with Aunt Tobey. I know he's in no more pain. He is now and forever with his love and family in Christ. But the sadness that is left down here is a whole that can never be filled till we see him again. To the 4 wonderful children, and grands I am sending my love and prayers. I will see you Monday. I love yall.
