One night, years ago, I heard your voice. It was a very dark time... You said, "You got over me once, you got over me twice, you will get over this!" and then you hugged me and I woke sitting up in bed just the way you had hugged me... crying. It took a few days to realize what you had said.
I did get over you once, when we divorced... and then again, when you passed. I survived.
Not long after you spoke to me, I left Larry for good. No one has hit me since.
Oh, how I miss you. You gave me the confidence I needed that night and you changed my life.
I wish, with all my heart, you were still here to laugh with our boys. They miss you so very much!
The last year of your life, we started to talk, I am ever so grateful for those days! Miracles do happen, lol. Happy Heavenly Bitlrthday, we will meet again someday!

Hi, honey. Brian and Allen were there to see you today. Brian goes every year. The boys have become great men and I know you are proud of them. I wish your were still here for them and I wish I could hear you laugh. We’ll met up again someday! Look at you, three women writing to you because we are all heartbroken that you have gone on ahead!

Happy heavenly birthday. Had the opportunity to tell your story to the media about Andrew and the twins. Think you would be proud of me. Not a day goes by your not thought about

Richard, you scamp. Your spirit still hovers. Miss that electric smile of yours and that unapologetic sense of humor.

Since you left the earth, my life has expanded here and there, over the years. But you’re always with me in my thoughts. Especially when I see something that would’ve made you laugh, or hear music that would’ve made us dance. Bummer, man. I am still bummed.

Ten years. Hard to believe. We'll meet again, my friend.

9 years. That seems impossible. I didn't leave a message on your birthday but I think of you every year on your birthday. You were such a special guy.

The last 9 years have been turbulant; sometimes good, sometimes bad. They would have been vastly improved by dancing zydeco with you

Hi, you've been on my mind. I am still counting the years and still amazed at how much I miss you. I have dearest ones there with you...my dad, Nat and my Frank...Angel's to watch over me. All my love, until we meet again.
Merry Christmas

Hi, Richard, missing you, still! Wish there was a way to turn back time because there was so much left unsaid. Your are in my heart today and always. The boys miss you so much! Continue to watch over them as only you can do. Love you, babe.

So, another Christmas passes. I know the boys miss you and still need your guidance. They both have had an extremely hard year. Please, continue to watch over them and Marta. Although they may not believe you still talk to them, I know you still can and do. I have a wonderful friend that is much like you, but you already know that. Thank you, it was much too much of a coincidence meeting him to not think someone from above had a hand in it! You are closer to God so please have a word with Him to provide physical and emotional,healing for our family. I love you, Richard...and I don't mean you're an ass when I say it. I should have told you when I could have. Lesson learned. Looking forward to that great grand hug, like the one you gave me five years ago, one day when we meet again! Lol, there is no rest in peace for you because I know you are busy helping and dancing and laughing, I see you in my dreams...miss you!

Richard! Five years you're gone. What are years to you now? Nothing-- no years in eternal glory. But we count the years down here. Can't believe it's been five years... Miss you.

I miss you like crazy, still. I have never stopped expecting you to walk through the door. It's your birthday so I know you are dancing in heaven...
Happy Birthday, now come home!

There is probably not a day that goes by that I don't think of you, Richard, and miss your laugh, your sense of humor, your personality, your friendship. The world's a duller place...

One more Christmas without you. Four now, but I felt you near. I know you are so proud of Brian! Seeing Kevin soon, lol, you are welcome to tag along. :) Still miss you...

Gone three years, Richard. So hard to believe. You're in my thoughts a lot, you are missed, you are not at all gone. How odd it is to leave you a message in this way. Love always, Marta

Missed you today. Can't believe it's been so long since our last Christmas....but then again, seems like yesterday. Time does not heal everything. Merry Christmas, dancing in Heaven.

Hi Richard. I've missed your goofy smile and crazy moves on the dance floor many times this past year. I always looked forward to dancing with you and miss those whacky, whirling two-steps to the best music in the world. It was a pleasure to help you learn to dance. You will live on in my memory always. Here's knowing you're joyous and happy now, on what would have been your birthday.

Happy Birthday, Richard, though I am sure you are enjoying a happy time with your Lord in heaven. It's we here below who still miss you so. I think of you all the time, but have been especially glum these past few days. I seem to have hung up my dancing shoes. The dance floor's just not the same with out you.

Today was your birthday. I have not forgotten the day since we married in 1973. Thank you for giving me our beautiful boys. Brian talked about missing you today. I thought about visiting your grave but you are not there. You live in our hearts always. We miss you so...

I miss you, although, I see you in Brian and Kevin from time to time. You left us all too soon.

I am thankful that the last year, you were with us, I got to become reacquainted with you. Sharing times with the boys and grand kids are memories now cherished and never forgotten. For many years after our divorce I wished for times like those, thank you for giving me your hearty laugh and mischievous twinkle in your eye again. There are still times that I think to call you and tell you something one of the boys did or said... or something the grand boys did or said.

I know you were not perfect but I know you are in heaven for I saw the kindness in your soul many times in that last year. You were a huge part of my life because of our boys and you will always be in my heart.

Watch over us, we still need you.
