I am so sorry--I did not know until last night. If I had known, I would have come.
Richard was such a good guy and I know you will miss him terribly. He was such a rock for everyone.
I will always remeber his good spirits, his laughter and his positive attitude toward life.

You know how we are going to miss Richard. We will never forget how sweet he was and how our little Brandy (dog) thought that he was the best guy ever and would follow him over to your house. That was so funny. We are so sorry for your loss. We are so glad that we all went to dinner a couple of months ago and had some time to talk and catch up. That memory is keeping so much sadness at bay. We really enjoyed that time together with y'all.
