Richard, I don't know if I lost a very good son or a great friend because you definitely qualified as both in my times of need . Someday we will be together again.

Richard was someone with whom I grew, from our late twenties on. He was my ex-husband and father of our child, Ryan. He was my forever friend.

So many memories.

I look forward to sharing some of those memories and hearing others' at the celebration of life for Richard on April 13th at Fuller Park in Surfside Beach, SC.

There will be BBQ and sweet tea, and hopefully the weather will work with us
