You just don't get over the love you give and the love you get in return.
I've been missing our Richard more and more. I see his happiness and energy in different people. Sometimes I feel his presence and it take my breath away and then it makes me smile and I realize that it was a beautiful gift from a greater power and I feel blessed. I talk to Scooter about Richard and he just smiles like a child and it makes me realize that he cherished every second he had with Richard. I told him last night, tomorrow will be 17 yrs. Richard gained his wings and he replied yes, I know, and Aunt Vera was having a hard day today. Watch over us our dear Richard. Miss you! Signed with a tear!

Forty one years today and I bet you are smiling down on us from the Heavenly skies. I bet your Uncle Abie was the first to sing to you this beautiful morning.
What a peace it brings me with mixed emotions of smiles and tears not only today but each time I speak of you or think of you. You were a big piece of our
hearts. Your wings were ready but our hearts were not ready to release you.
Forever loved. Forever missed.

Thank you for sending a beautiful morning our way. It's a reminder of the happiness you carried with you and shared with all that knew you. There are moments when time freezes and memories of your time with us come to mind; it's always around football and basketball season when we had a lot of good times watching sports, these moments will always be with me as a reminder of your time on this side. We no doubt wish you were here and will always remember your contagious smile. Love you cousin, see you on the other side.

Happy Birthday from the other side. This time of year, especially on this day, my memories of you are stoked from watching football. Any time I see the Miami Dolphins on tv it brings back memories of some of the most special times of my life. We always had a good time rooting for our teams. Football, winter, Christmas, NCAA basketball, these things will never be the same without you but will always have a special place in my heart. Your spirit lives on with moments in time that will never be forgotten.
Love you Richard. See you when I see you.

Well Mr. Richard, sitting here counting the years. I guess I need to
give thanks that we had you for twice as many years as you have been gone. Still not easy! Scooter turns 37 in six days! Time goes by so fast!
Love you to the Heavens and Back!. Give my brother a hug! We miss you both so very much. This day is as hard as it was twelve years ago.
It rained that day so hard coming back from Oklahoma, and I woke up to rain today!

Today, ten years has gone, but your memory is alive and well. The many times we wish you were there with us, the many times we cried. If love could have saved you you never would have died, a heart of gold stopped beating two twinkling eyes closed to rest. God broke our hearts that day to show he only takes the best. Never a day goes by that your not in our hearts and thoughts. Love you always Richard.

Hey Mr. Richard, you are still living strong in my heart. I can see your smiling face like it was yesterday. I even thought you had been in my house, I saw you twice and even spoke to you, it was awesome. I felt your tap on my shoulder, heard your voice saying its me "Richard." I looked for you but I know you were there smiling. Maybe you know I miss you and think of you always, that is why you stopped in. Come back, be with us Saturday and listen to your family tell all your secrets. I know you will get a big kick out of it. We Love you so very much. Keep an eye on Scooter, he's getting older.

Ten years ago today we lost a very special person in our family. Lil Rich was not just a cousin to me, he was like my lil brother. The last year of his life he spent numerous nights at my home. We joked together, we laughed together we even fought like brother and sister. The more I bitched the more he smiled. I hope he knows that all that bitching was done out of love. He still makes me laugh today because his stories live on. He is not just a memory but a wonderful treasure that I will hold in my heart forever.
God has you in his arms Lil Rich and we will forever have you in our hearts. See you in Heaven cuz

Who you'd be today!
August 11, 2020
by Flo Mestas
Scooter and I had a conversation yesterday about you, Richard! We laughed and I know you
heard every word and laughed with us!. We miss you buddy! I asked Scooter would he still be thin or would he be fat? Scooter said thin! Would his hair be thinning or would he still be a peludo? Scooter really laughed and said always a Peludo! I asked Scooter, would he have kids and Scooter said Oh yes, and I'd be the Godfather! So here's a little song hope it works!
I tried to load the song Who you'd be today, by Kenny Chesney.
If you have the time listen to it.
Forever Remembered - Forever Missed
August 16, 2011
by Rosie Miller
Richard came to us so fragile and sweet. He was so tiny at birth and we all knew he was special from the day he made his presence on this earth. I rememer so many hysterically, funny, moments throughout his life as a little boy and later as a young man. He was an example to us all on humility and kindness and he loved us all so much as we did him. I am so grateful to have shared such a beautiful gift from God. I miss you everday Richard and the ache in my heart has not subsided since the day your spirit left this earth.
A Crown With Many Jewels.
August 11, 2011
by Paul Montoya
Richard was always happy, and I never knew him to be angry or hold a grudge towards anyone. He loved life as much as those that were blessed to know him in turn loved him. He was never one to complain about anything, and was always thankful for everything. I hold him in high esteem, and know that God graced this Earth by sharing a miracle with us; although his life was not long lived his memory will be. It seems as if only people such as Richard are here with us for only a short while, and it has become obvious to me why! Because God wants such individuals to be with him for he is the author of life, and determines how long we are to stay. For Richard his life was short in years, but the Glory that he sent back to God by the manner in which he lived was more then what most people would be able to do in 100 years. I don't pretend to know why Richards life was taken so tragically, perhaps it was to remind us of how Christs life was taken so tragically. I know he served God, and when he returned to him in Spirit he was given a body that will never be sick, or grow old, or lack for anything; and on his head he wears a crown with many jewels symbolic of all that he did to glorify the name of Jesus, while he was here on Earth with us. I suppose in short even when he was bad he was good, and as Christ said it is not what goes into ones body that defiles him, but what comes out that does. Richard I know that you are here as I write these things about you, and can hardly wait until one day we can play some one on one again. Love Uncle Paul
