My friend... My brother in Christ... A man who knew how to press forward despite the past. I admired his courage and will miss his tender smile... His hugs... His "what nots" ... My deepest sorrow to his family for such loss... but my richest joy in knowing Richard's gain. He is with the One Who gave His life on that Old Rugged Cross so that we do not have to grieve as those who have no Hope. I will see you again, my friend. Until then, we will ask, Lord - give us the grace, to do every day, what we have to do.. We will continue to take one day at a time...
