  4. Kelly,
    I am praying for you and all your family. God bless you and comfort you during this time.

  5. To: Kelly and Family. Richard was the best. Everything he did, he did to perfection. He has been a part of our family for over 38 years and it is hard to imagine life without him. No matter what problems we had, Richard would swoop in and fix them. No matter how big or small, Richard would make everything better. I can never eat another piece of carrot cake without thinking of him, his was the best. Pecan Pie, nothing better, coconut cake fabulous. He was the kind of person who always gave and never thought of taking. I can only imagine how hard this must be for you all. Richard was a little guy but he has left us with a big hole in our hearts. Richard I wish you well in your next big adventure, we will miss you, but we will see you again, of that I am sure.
