LIFE EVERLASTING

December 3, 2020
Dreams that come to me... I see you! I know you are there and I know you live! The veil that separates us someday will be drawn aside Rich! I know you know and see everything in our lives down here! Jamie, Kelly and Krissy have become strong and independent women!
I am so proud of them and you!
HAPPY LIFE UP IN HEAVEN! And yes, we go on ....

I think about that "Rich" smile and you still make me smile....I look at pictures now because thats all I have..... but I go on...... Till we laugh again my friend...... My Sun.....

The last birthday

December 3, 2013
The girls were so young. I remember video taping them each saying happy birthday. I remember Alyssa and the girls saying that he was very sick and in a few days was going to get a bone marrow. "Daddy was leaving for Kentucky" Kelly said..... No one knew that he already had a high fever and sore throat.... His leukemia was taking over and even the daily blood transfusions were being destroyed..... They gave him a 1% chance...... The birthday cake candles were blown out by Rich for the last time.... A smile on his face as he looked at his girls..... I know today he is looking down on each of them and grinning just like that last birthday! "Keep strong my girls", he is saying....don't let anyone or anything stand in your way to being happy! As we all know..... Life is very brief....

December 1999

December 27, 2012
Rich didn't want to die on Christmas. He told me a man came into his room in the bone marrow unit and he had a beard. He knew it was Jesus He asked him not to take him on Christmas. Jesus listened. Rich said good bye to his Mom and Dad, the girls each separately and asked me to come with him. I told him I had to take care of the girls. Those were the last words he spoke Christmas Eve . He died December 27 th at 3:20 PM

Rich ran in front of me the last mile of the 5K I was pissed! I came around the corner of the frat house and there he was.... Dripping with sweat ..... I started to open my big mouth and yell at him and he just motioned me to some behind the frat house.....I followed.Right to the big dumpster! "Why did you run ahead of me?" I asked.... "Because I had something important" he said. He turned around and got down on his one sweaty knee and pulled out this ring case and said" I was so afraid of losing this" I opened it up and there was the most beautiful diamond ring! "Will you marry me Terri?" "Omg.... Is that real?" "Of course it is!" Rich said. Awe...... The rest is history! We were meant to be!
