Richard, don't know where to start.  I am so thankful for you coming into my Sisters Life. Things happen for reasons and that trip to Mexico brought you two together for a bigger reason than to have a margarita in the Sun. 

Even more thankful for all the years I got to know and love you. The fact that you and your entire family accepted me and loved me like I was one of bunch means so much to me. 
 
Very thankful for the bond your family has with Audrey, I couldn't ask for a better blessing than that for her. 
 
You and I fought like brother and sister, yet you also took great care of me and that is something that I will cherish forever.  Your love is something special, all who were around you experienced this great gift.

I have wonderful memories of amazing, fun times with you.  I am sorry I tried to drown you with a glass of water after our trip to TJ and telling Audrey to roll you out on the balcony when we were all trying to sleep in San Diego. You knew my love came through teasing and sarcasm. :)
I will laugh about our adventures of sliding on the floor in socks at the bar at Hard Rock, dancing through City Walk, and yelling "Cocktails" for New Years and never getting a drink and so many more memorable moments.  

You were a great Man Richard and I was truly blessed to know you.  Rest in Peace and go bug my Mom up there in the Kingdom...  We all love you so much.

We will miss your smiling face and teddy bear hugs.  All our love, Stacey and Kyle

Richard, My heart is heavy knowing that I will never see or talk to you (my baby) again. I love you so much! You are the love of my life. I am so thankful for the year we met in Puerto Vallarta and for all the love you showed me through the years and for making me a part of your family.  I will never forget all the love, tears and memories that we have shared. I am so thankful for our recent talk, and for all the things that we said and shared that day. I know that you would want me to be strong now. So I will try.  I just have to remember the saying that "When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us". You will always be with me.  You are now at peace and resting in heaven with Daddy and all God's angels.  I will love and miss you every day.

RICHARD I GUESS YOU WANTED A FAMILY REUNION LIKE YOU SEND AT UNCLE MICHAELS FUNERAL JUST A YEAR AGO, NOW UR RESTING IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, SAVE ME A SPOT UP THERE COUSIN RIP LOVE YOU AND I WILL SEE YOU ONE DAY!!
