Dear Marylou and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Richard will be dearly missed. He was a good man and a great neighbor. I will miss his dry sense of humor and our conversations on the porch. May God be with you all at this time, and may He place His healing hands upon your heavy hearts and give you peace in the coming days. We are praying that your hurt and loss will lesson over time and be replaced with wonderful memories until you are all together once again. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless.
Love,
Larry and Bonnie
