| Message | Sharon,
This is a very loving tribute. Living in Indiana, my family didn't travel much and our trips to my father's home state were limited. I didn't know Richard very well, but I have learned a lot about his character and personality by reading these letters. I appreciate his honesty, skills as a builder, generosity, commitment to his family and parents, and his sense of humor that shown through these tributes. Sharon, you have so many wonderful memories of Richard, and I thank you for sharing them with us. I just wish he were still here so that you could have more happy memories. My thoughts are with you and John as you try to cope with this great loss.
Your cousin, Teresa |
