It breaks my heart that I wasn't able to come to see Uncle Richard before he passed and also not being able to come to the services for him. My prayers and thoughts are with Aunt Joyce, Uncle Charles, Uncle Gene and Aunt Eula Pearl. I know Uncle Richard is happy in his new heavenly home with our Heavenly Father and all the family members that have passed before him. We too have the option to join all our family members in Heaven. We just need to ask for forgiveness for our sins and invite Jesus into our heart. May God comfort all the family in our sad time. Love & miss you all.
We all will miss you, but we know you are in a better place pain free and home with Jesus! I will never forget you and will always cherish the memories of you when I was able to come to Arkansas, you always had that wonderful smile and such a tender heart! Love you uncle Richard until we meet again <3 Prayers for the family

So sorry to hear about Richard!!! He was a great neighbor and a good employee at Emerson!!! You are all in our prayers!
It saddens me to hear of your loss. My love and prayers go out to your family at this time.
May God comfort you as you grieve.
Dear Family and Friends,
I'm sorry for your loss. I just wanted to leave you with an encouraging scripture that has helped me deal with the loss of a loved one. It is found in the Bible Book of Palm 34:18 here God assures us that He is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit.
