Pat, Stacy and Wes my heart goes out to you during this most difficult time. Richard was truly one of a kind and how bless you are to have been able to call him your "husband" and your "father". He enjoyed life to its fullest but nothing can compare to his life now. Life's greatest reward and joy is knowing that when our love one leaves their temporary home here on earth, they are forever in the presence of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that you will draw strength in knowing he is Home. He will, however, always continue to live in our hearts and memories. May the Lord bless you akways.
