Richard, I just found out about your Dad, I am so sorry, life sure is just as challenging as we get older as it was growing up, just in other ways. You will always hold a special place in my heart, like I have told you before, you helped me get thru a difficult time in High School and your humor and friendship will never be forgotten. Your Mom and Dad raised a wonderful person, their biggest accomplishment.. Please know if I can do anything for you and your family don’t hesitate to ask. Love Cathy Griffith Richardson
My prayers are with you and your family. You were a good and loving son Dick. The love, care and concern that you showed for your dad was immeasurable. May he rest in peace and enjoy the eternal light of Heaven. -JJ
