I will never forget you, Richard. I remember you as the best of the best, and when you passed away I was heartbroken. I can not forget that smile you always had when you walked up. It still hurts to think such a good guy could just be gone that quickly. I know you are wrapped in warmth, comfort, and the love of the Creator, and no pain or sorrow will ever touch you again.
