Hello Richard
Fall is coming and you will see first hand the autumn leaves in this place where we laid you to rest. I met the new caretaker here when I visited over the weekend. We had a good talk and he told me if we ever needed anything at all, just give him a call and he would take care of it. I will share it with all the family today so everyone will know who is looking out for you in between our visits. There are a lot of birthdays in October, we celebrated Katerina’s birthday yesterday, she just turned 15. I will visit as often as I can until I can’t. You were an Amazing Son and I will “Love you Always” you know this. I only wish we could have shared more time. I know how your Mom feels when she visits as it gets tougher and tougher not to break down while I am here, but My Love will always keep me coming back to you, My Son gone to soon❤️

Always great to visit you Rich. A time that I can shut off all the issues of the day, weeks. Gone to soon, that’s the song playing in the background right now. It was a perfect choice and says it all.
 I know your well!! I don’t know what to say anymore because I have said it all many times over. I like to just sit with you and look back at the fun times, your smile and laughter. I miss you so much . I can never hold back the tears that fall down my face even after all the years. I filled the bird feeder knowing that you like when they come and sing to you. The chime in the background makes beautiful music with the wind blowing today.
 Keep watching over us and know that there are a lot of people missing you. “ Love ❤️ you Always

Richard, my sweet youngest son. Oh, how I miss you so much. 7 years, and the tears never stop nor will they ever stop flowing. Allen passed away Friday night, watch over him for Aunt Vicky I love you always. . Mom xoxo

My sweet boy,
Seven years today., a know it all doctor deemed you brain dead, and took you off all things that were keeping you alive. Thank God we got to the room before you took your last breath and went to Heaven. Time does not heal..........I still cry for you daily. I miss your quirky grin, your antics, your beautiful blue eyes, the way you called me mother and your glorious hugs. I just miss you. Nothing feels the void. I will forever be a mother missing one of her children, a grieving mother.......Love you always.

Hello Richard, My Son, "Gone to Soon" Today marks the day seven years ago we laid you to rest in Oakland Cemetery. I don't have any words left that I haven't said over the last 7 days leading up to this day. So Today I am just going to say, I hope by now you have met all of the family tree gone before us & that you are sharing time as a family that you weren't able to share here om earth. I am so sorry I didn't Love you enough to keep this from happening as the one thing a Father is suppose to do is to Protect and defend the Family at all cost. I am Thankful for Our Father in Heaven that He was there to welcome you home and take away the pain and suffering you were going through.
I Pray One day I will see you again and be able to wrap my arms around you.
I Will "Love you Always" My Son- Gone To Soon"

Hello my precious, sweet boy. Today, seven years ago my heart started to break, and after 8 days it was ripped from my chest. I remember that call at work and all I could do was scream “No God, not my baby, not my baby. “ I rushed to Paoli Hospital, thank God you were alive. You were on a vent , but we were told you would recover. What a lie. Oh, my sweet boy, I cried, I screamed, I begged God to let you live, I tried to bargain with God. I held your hand, I kissed your face, I spoke quietly in your ear telling you of my love for you and to please stay. But one night I knew things were really dire and I told you if you had to go, I would be ok. I’m trying, but some days it’s really hard. I will survive, but only because I know that one day I will see your sweet face in Heaven. I miss your hugs, I miss your quirky grin, I miss how you could make me laugh, I JUST MISS YOU. I love you always, my precious, sweet boy. Mom

My sweet boy, I like your dad is thinking about that on the 29th of this month, seven years ago, started 8 days of the worst time of our lives. You were on life support. All the family was there, we prayed, we cried, we screamed, we begged and tried to bargain with God. But you went to Heaven. I came by the cemetery today and sat with you. I talked to you, and yes, I cried. I miss my sweet little jokester who had the cutest quirkiest grin, gave the best hugs and could always make us laugh. I MISS YOU. And I still cry everyday and will until I join you in Heaven. I love you always, my precious boy. Mom xoxo

Hello My Son:
 Soon it will be that day, that month, and 7 years after you left us to be with Jesus. It will be a Day that will challenge us again and feel your loss as if it just happened.

I would Love to see your friends, extended Family members and everyone whose life you touched, Find a picture to share, write something here to show how much Richard left a print on your life! "Love all of You" who gave Richard time in your lives and Loved him like we do.

Hi my sweet boy. Yesterday (1/21/2021) for the seventh year, I had to go to a cemetery to “Wish you a Happy Heavenly Birthday.’ It is the hardest, saddest thing I have to do. 6 years, 4 months- We walked together, you and I. A mother and her son, we had hopes and dreams for tomorrow, but tomorrow didn’t come. We walked together. We talked, we laughed, we loved. We shared so many happy times and for that, I thank God above. We walked together, you and I. But only for a sort time. For all to soon it ended, leaving my broken heart behind. And even though I miss you, more than words can say. I thank God that I got to walk with you every moment of each day———MISSING MY SWEET BOY. Love you always, mom xoxo

I Stopped by today to wish you a Happy Heavenly Birthday. I know I am a few days early but it has been a little to long since I have come to see you.
Lots of crazy things are going on in the world.
I know i have said it all over and over again but there isn't a time when the emotion goes away. It never stops, the pain in My heart is endless and always cries out, I should have done something more!! Dad’s are suppose to keep everyone safe.
You would have been 33 this Thursday, and maybe even had a family by now. You would have made a great Dad! I’m sorry you never had the chance. Celebrate with all of the family and keep a watch out on all of us. “Love you Always” ❤️

Hello my sweet boy. 6 years and 1day since the angels came to take you to your heavenly home. The depths of my PAIN sometimes seems unbearable, but it never even comes close to the depths of my LOVE for you. I am missing your smile, your voice, your sense of humor, your charm, your wit, your way of making everything better. Mostly, just missing you........ Love you always.

Hello Richard
Today is your Happy Heavenly Birthday. I am trying to put a good thought into the world rather than the one I feel every other day of the year. It was 6 years ago today you were taken from us. There is still doubt in all of our hearts whether it was God’s will or the Dr. who went against all things told to us and removed your life support and ended your fight for life. There is nothing to be said that hasn’t been said 100’s of times already. We miss you, your smile, your humor & sound of your laughter. There is still today, nothing in My power to give that I wouldn’t give to change the outcome of that day. A life that has to suffer the loss of a piece of it can never return to normal. I dreamed of you and a time we were together last night. I heard your laughter and you calling out to me “Dad” as if you knew I would need this today. OMG- My heart is breaking and there is no comfort to be had. I will
  “Always Love You” ❤️

Richard, my sweet boy. Six years ago today started my Hell on earth. You were put on life support, the one doctor said you would recover. But that was not to be. Eight days of a few highs but mostly lows, you went to Heaven. I cry tears every day, what could I have done differently? My heart and soul ache daily. I miss you so much, that even hurts. I know you are at peace, but I haven’t gotten there yet. I just want to scream. I want you back. You know my sweet boy your mom loved you unconditionally and I still love you. I Love You Always, mom

Hello Rich! Have been away for awhile but today I wanted to come and visit. That day is coming again. The day you left us was a day that took pieces from each of us that can never be filled or replaced. I was sitting here looking at you with the clouds up above and all of a sudden the clouds parted and the light of the Sun came full force as if you wanted me to know, I see you Dad, Thanks for coming. I relive those last 8 days over and over. Wondering what I could have done different to change the outcome. The answer never comes. I don’t wether that’s good or bad, all I know is you left that day to be with Jesus. It was His choice, His need of you for something special, or He knew you were in a lot of pain and wanted to take it away. There will never be a day you aren’t in my heart and in my thoughts. I will “Always Love You”

Hi my sweet boy. You were in my dreams last night. I got to see your sweet face and see your sweet smile. Thank you for that!! Daddy was in the dream also. I came to visit you at the cemetery today. No mother should have to do that. I miss you so very much. Tears still fall daily. I miss your hugs, my sweet jokester. “The mind remembers the words, but the heart remembers how it felt. The mind can forget, but the heart never will. “ Love you always, my sweet son. Mom xoxo

Hello my sweet boy. I came to visit you today. You are buried in a very peaceful place, but it is hard for me to feel peaceful. Mothers are not supposed to bury their children. It’s been 5 years and 9 months since you left us to go to Heaven. I still hope everyday that I will wake up from this horrible nightmare only to go to bed every night and know that that there will be no ‘waking up’. Not until that day, when God calls me home. Love you always and miss you terribly. Mom xoxo

Hi my sweet, sweet boy. Your 32nd birthday is in 9 days, but you are forever 26. No matter what people say, it does not get easier. I miss you so much, my heart is so shattered. I miss your beautiful blue eyes, your quirky grin and your wonderful hugs. I just miss you...... the tears still fall daily. I love you always. Momll

Hello Richard
It’s a New Year, 2020. Your Birthday is coming up pretty soon. Of course you know that, hoping we all can get together to share that day. It is actually more difficult each year to deal with the emotions of you being gone, not really any easier as some people say it will be it’s a beautiful day here today. The sun is shining down on you and has lit up your resting space. “Love you Always” My Son gone to soon.

Hello Richard, Fall has come, leaves are all around you. I brought a new bird feeder today for all your friends who visit you. The other one was a little rusty having hung for 5+ years. What can I say that has t been said so many times. We/I miss you every second of the day. I know you are ok. That doesn’t take away the wanting to wrap my arms around you and never let you go again.
   “Love you Always”
    Dad

September 6 has come and gone, but nothing has changed except another year has passed since you left us. It has been 5 long years and the pain is as much today as it was then. They have finally admitted the medication you were on when you were treated for your cancer was far more addictive and overpowering then was told.
Now they want to do something about it, then everyone was just a drug addict!! No one would listen, no one would admit that you should have had a chance at life! Nine months to come into the world and they didn’t want to give you nine days to heal. Everyone needs to be aware that as much sorrow as you go through during times like this, You need someone to be your strength and fight for Life. We were deceived as if Satan was in the house, and you were taken from us. I will never forget that day or the signature of the Dr. who took you from us. I know you are in a beautiful place and have much Family & Charlie there with you. I Pray everyday I will be good enough to pass through those gates and wrap my arms around you once again. “Love you Always” Dad

Happy Heavenly Birthday Richard. You would have turned 31 today. Really just starting to live your life. All of us still struggling to overcome the sadness of that day you left us to live your eternity in Heaven. We are coming together today to celebrate your birthday at your resting place. A moment in time as One Family. What I would give to have back the time with you, to have a second chance at being the father you needed me to be. To get you through those days of doubt, those days of questioning. I Failed you as a Father and I will live with that until the last day of my life. My only hope is that Our Father will allow me to join you that I can wrap my arms around you and hold you tight once again. I Will,”Love You Always”

Hello Rich, Sorry I can’t be there today to spend some time with you. It’s that day again, four years after our world fell apart. I know the family will have a tough day today, especially your mom so watch over her and let her know your there. The rest of us will deal with it, each of us in our own way, our own specific memories of the day(s) that led up to this day. Each of us questioning the same things over and over again. I wish I would have been stronger for you then. Fighting for you as hard as you were fighting for life. I will always believe it could have ended different if given the time. I know your fine, and you have CHARLIE there and more family that you didn’t have time to get to know. Now you have an eternity.
     “Love you Always” until the End of Time

I am here Richard just a few days from your 4th year anniversary. I have to fly to Long Beach, CA tomorrow and will miss visiting you on the day you went to heaven. It is not easy to be in the day, the saddest day when you loose someone you love so much. There are no words to say that haven’t already been said. We miss you, I miss you. I will always live you until the end of time. Watch over us as it hasn’t been an easy year and we all have our struggles. “Love you Always” Richard, My Son “Gone to Soon”

sitting hear with you, I am trying to write to you but have run out of words to express what I am feeling that I haven’t already told you. Every emotion, every feeling I have expressed comes from a broken heart

...And one day, everything changed...my whole world upside down, my heart broken in pieces on the ground...my precious boy was taken from me...so suddenly and so tragically...just one day. 09/16/14 - The worst day of my life. I miss you so where has the time gone since you left us. It seems like only yesterday, but the calendar I turn over puts a measurable distance between the day you left and the current day, but my heart tells me it's only been an instant. Those around me think that I have healed and moved on but they can't see a broken heart nor the tears I share in private. I will always hold you in my heart... I miss you so much my sweet boy. Love you always, mom xoxo

Hello Richard
Just wanted to reach out to you and let you know you were in my thoughts. It seems that the world isn't getting any better. The world is fighting more and loving less. We brought Charlie home to be with us. Katerina was somewhat disappointed as she wanted to bury him with you so you would have someone to play with. I explained that by now you had found each other in Heaven and were having a lot of fun together. Charlie Browne, My friend recently passed away as well. He was an amazing person, but was fighting a battle for the second time and I think was tired of the battle. He is there in Heaven now, all the pain is gone.
It doesn't get any easier as time goes on with your leaving to go to heaven. To some degree as more of friends and family leave the physical world to come to Heaven, it continues to overwhelm us more.
All the things you missed and never had the chance to experience. You were an Amazing Son. I only wish that we would have had more time.
"Love you Always" One day we will be together again, I know that but until then, I am a Father who lost a Son, at the age of 26. to soon, and everyday I am reminded and see it.

Hello Rich, By now you have probably discovered that Charlie passed away last night to join you in heaven. I am sure his nose picked up you scent and he searched all night until he found you. That’s what Charlie was good at. Take care of each other and enjoy eternity. We will truly miss him as we do you. He was family. “Love you Always”
Dad

Hello Richard, today is your grandmother's birthday. She would have been 81 years young. If you get a chance and find her, give her a big hug from me. It is still not easy not having you with us in your physical form. Your smile, laughter, and comedy kept us all in a better place. I know you can see all that is going on and if you can reach out and help those that are struggling a little and let them know you are fine and that they need to not forget you, but they need to move past the moment.
i will never forget a single day , a single moment of the 26 years we were privileged to have you in our lives. "Love you Always"

Happy 30th Birthday

"Gone to Soon" It is what best describes that day three years ago today. None of us had any idea that we were looking at you in your final days here on earth. So many people were praying for you. We stayed by your bedside days on end. I look back on these days and run it through my mind over and over. I prayed, I pleaded, I got down on my knees and offered my life for yours, in the end we lost you under circumstances out of our control. We will always question that day and the actions that took place but you are gone and there is know way to change that day. Rest In Peace my Son and I will keep you in my heart ❤️ until the day I see you again. I will "Love you Always"

Hello Rich. Another 6th of the month, two years ten months. You know there will never be a time that you won't be in our hearts. It's still never easy to have you gone. I watched "The Bodyguard" tonight and when Whitney Houston started singing it reminded of the song that I have played in the background. "Gone to Soon" I smiled :) Of course, you know that Madelyn is 3 months old today as well and she is such a joy!
Thank you, I truly believe she was born on this day as a gift from you with a little help from Jesus. I stop by as often as I can. Your still clearly in my mind and my heart! I will "Always Love You"

Just stopped in to add a few pictures I found of you. I had a dream the other night and you were in it and you came alive so much you jolted me out of the dream, and then I was mad that you went away. I wanted so much to talk to you. It was so very real!! Time goes on, but you are never out of my heart. We all miss you, you know that. See you when I get there.."Love you Always"

Hello Richard 
It is the day after and 30 months later, I am downstairs in the Man cave that gives me quiet time to reflect on my life and all those that have influenced it. I said hello to a friend that I lost 4 years ago today, you never met him but I told him to look you up. There are no words to give me comfort or to stop the pain I feel every time a memory comes back. I go back to your Facebook page and look at the last message you sent me and never realized that it would be the Last. Never to see your smile again, to wrap my arms around you, to hold you tight to protect you against everything!! We tried everything to give your life back to you. We said prayers, we had hundreds of people praying for you. I offered My Life that you might Live. That Saturday, A Doctor came in and flashed his credentials, and before we knew it, You were gone. I remember that Day as if it was yesterday! What, could I have done? What could I have changed? Anything is what I offered, but no matter what I was willing to give up it seemed it was out of reach. I Love you with All of My Heart and will "Love you Always" I will do All that I can to be worthy on that Day, that God calls me, to those Heavenly Gates, that I might pass through them to see you one more time for eternity. To Hold you and to be with you again. Until then my Son, "Gone too Soon"

Hey Rich! Just wanting to wish you a happy birthday in heaven! You are thought of and missed each day! I take comfort in knowing your with us as a guardian angel! We talk, I feel you here! We notice the funny stuff that you still make happen! We miss you but can only imagine the freedom and joy of being in heaven! Enjoy your special day up there! Love you! Steven, Jenn, ally, sisi, and bubs!

Happy 29th Birthday Richard! Even though you celebrate it in Heaven it still gives me the same feeling the very first day I saw your smile, your face. Gone to Soon is the song playing in the background but as we all know God's timing is perfect. There is a lot going on in the family as I am sure you have been watching. Today will be a tough day for some of us as no matter, We all miss your physical presence here on Mother earth.
Celebrate your Special Day in Heaven with everyone of the family members that are already there and have great Joy in your heart.
"Love you Always" I Miss you a lot and only survive each day knowing that I will be with you again, One day, In God's perfect timing.

Two Years ago today we laid you in your final resting place. I can remember it as if it was yesterday. No Parent has in their mind the view of what we had that day. The funeral was beautiful, they say. The flowers were incredible, for a funeral that day. All our family and friends were there that day, for a funeral. Our family had been brought together on many days where we were attending someone's funeral, but not someone so young. My Mother went fairly young at the age of 62. That is a young age for any parent to go. But there you were! At 26, your earthly life had come to an end. We all new you were in heaven, a friend of mine had snuck in that Saturday morning of the 13th day of September and spoke with God and made sure that He knew that you were a true believer. I will always remember him for this!
I remember when everyone had left the room kissing you one last time and pulling the blanket up as if you might catch cold. I didn't watch as they closed your casket. I couldn't bear to see it happen. It was a solemn drive to the cemetery. Most everyone was there. I remember the rain was coming down slightly and I could see that we had filled the heavens with Our tears to the point it could hold no more, so it had to let a little fall back to earth, but ever so gently. It was a beautiful place that day, for a funeral. I knew we had found the right spot. It would be awhile before the final days of everything about your resting place would come together, but it was The place that we would come to visit every chance we had, to cry our tears, and talk to you about all the things we didn't get a chance to do when you were with us.
As I sit here, not able to sleep on this day, 5000 miles away, I can see you where you lay as if you were right there in front of me. There are tears that fall, there is some remorse as all of us have, But there is
"Love" God's Love❤️ You are with Him, that I know and that brings so comfort in knowing that because of that, We will see you again my Son of 26 years. That will be a glorious day that We will share and celebrate for an eternity. "Love you Always" Richard Higgins

Hi my sweet, sweet boy. 22 months and 4 days - it doesn't get any easier. The pain is so intense and nothing can fill the void or take the pain away. No parent should ever have to go to a cemetery to visit their child. I miss your beautiful blue eyes, your quirky grin, your hugs and how you could always make me laugh. I Love You so, so much, no one who hasn't lost a child can know the gut retching pain, and wondering what could have been done to change the out come. I just thank God that he allowed me to be your mother, it was truly a blessing. I will see you again in Heaven. Rest peacefully my sweet, boy. Love You Always, Mom xoxo

Good Morning Rich
I don't know how any parent copes with the loss of a son, or a daughter.
I have read many ways that are suggested to be helpful, but I have yet to find one that works. Visiting you is both comforting and also brings back memories but is also a reminder that you are gone and there will be no new memories. I can still here your voice, your laughter, and know that your last words to me were of the enormous love you wanted me to know you had for me. One day, if I had been home, could have changed everything. I would have been able to reach out and hold you tight and changed your destiny. I have tried to convey to every parent the importance of family and staying in touch with each member as often as we can. My only hope is that when my time comes, I will be allowed to enter Heavens Gate and share an eternity with you.
I Love you Rich and I will "Love you Always" ❤️

To my Beautiful Cousin Richard, although I never got the privilege to know you in Life, you are in my heart and I will Love you in Spirit Forever. I know you are watching over your amazing family. Love to you sweet Angel. Xoxo

Hello Richard
Time is flying bye. Everyday I still miss you not being here to talk to, hang out, go to dinner. The loss of a son is without question the most pain that any father can feel. I visit you as often as I can and we talk about things that are going on but you know all that already. I look at your pictures and the few letters that I have and wonder how after 26 years I have so little to look back on. I hope your doing well. It's Mother's day tomorrow so you might want to check in on your Mom, she is having a real hard time. I will "Love you Always" my Son of 26 years.

Happy Birthday Rich It is the 21st day of January, A day that for 26 years we celebrated the day of your birth. This year is the second of many we will celebrate your eternal day of birth into the Kingdom of Heaven. Truly a day of celebration if not for our humanity that will not allow us to forget what it was like to be with you in the physical world. Your smile, your humor, the love you had for everyone. There will be many other first of days in this new year of 2016, but none as difficult as this day. We will do our best to be those warriors of Gods faith but forgive us if for this one day, the 21st day of January, we give into our humanity and recognize what we have truly lost.
"Love you Always" Rich until the day we meet in Heaven and I can hold you in my arms for eternity.

My sweet, sweet boy. Tomorrow will be 16 months since the last time, i could touch you, kiss your sweet face, pray to God to let you stay! Time does not heal the hurt, not a day goes by that I don't cry for you. But, there are some days that I think back on some good memories and I can smile through my tears. I promised you in those dark hours, that if you had to go to Heaven, I would be OK. I'm trying baby, but it's the hardest thing I've ever had to do, except watching you die. I know you are in Heaven and one day I'll be there with you and I want one of your smiles and one of your wonderful hugs. Miss you, Love you always, Mom xo

Tomorrow is the 6th of another month that you have been gone. We made it through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Not without an incredible amount of reflection and looking at all the pictures of you we have shared. Once in awhile someone finds a new one that has been lost and you would think we were a kid in the candy store. It is very hard to look at your pictures and see you, knowing that it is all we have of you. I can't ever imagine being capable of not breaking down, crying a river of tears, and asking Why? I will "Love you Always" I pray and hope that one day I will see you again, and then, for an eternity we can be together. Dad

Good Morning Richard
Today is that Day! One year ago an Angel came and escorted you to Heaven. It was a great day for you as you no longer suffered, it was a very sad day for us as the fight was over to keep you here with us. Gods Will Be Done.and as I prayed I asked for the strength to accept His will. We are all coming to see you today and will join in Prayer to Celebrate your first Heavenly Birthday. We still have questions, we still have a difficult time accepting that you are gone! All that we can do is to keep your memories in our hearts and know that we will see you again. I Will " Love you Always" ❤️

Good Morning Richard I was thinking about the time it's been and how we are coming closer to that one year anniversary since you went to heaven. I know it's going to be a big challenge for you know who so I wanted to give you a heads up and maybe you could start working on her now to soften the blow a little the rest of us will feel it to because we still feel the pain and the realization that your never coming home BUT, You are Home, your in Heaven of this I am sure and I wanted you to know that your face, your smile are in my thoughts every day "love you Always"

Hello Richard, today is a day that we reflect on and look back and recall all the things that have allowed us to celebrate another Happy 4th of July. A day of recognition of the price that has been paid by so many. As I sit here and reflect, of course my thoughts come back to you and how God Blessed me with an incredible Son to watch over, to have vigilance over your life. To guide you, nurture you until you were ready to take over the role and start your Independence of your life. I looked away and lost track for a time. A time that was when you needed me to be most vigilant. I Thank you God for taking Richard back under your protection. It is very hard to say this and some might even criticize it but I never question your judgement even if I might not understand. He has returned to his happy soul, his smile infecting everyone that see's him and bringing laughter to every moment. In a few days, it will be 10 months of your passing and soon one year. I pray that God will forgive me for my failure and that you will have another chance at life one day, to know the Joy of finding a True soulmate, raising a family, sharing in what it's like to have grand children, and growing old with that one special person and then reuniting with us in Heaven after you have lived a full life and we will share eternity together.
I will "Love you Always" in my heart & thoughts daily for the Eterinty that God has promised.

Hi Buddy. Well another day without you, who ever said it would get easier, lied. It broke my heart more to have to come celebrate your birthday at a cemetery. We will be coming to see you in a little while. I love and miss you so much my precious boy. Love you Always, mom xoxo

Hello Rich! We celebrated your birthday on the 21st. It was good that we had everyone there and we had cupcakes with candles, we sang Happy Birthday, and yes we cried!! We all miss you so much and even though we are all in agreement you are in a better place and happy, not being able to reach out and touch you, hold you, it hasn't gotten any better. I posted some of the birthday pictures for everyone. I also found a picture I took of you and Ryan, I think the last picture so I wanted to post that as well. Yes, we are all still struggling with this but we all agree on one thing! We will "Love you Always"

Today my Richie Rich, I light a candle for you in honor of your birthday! You may be gone from our earth but never forgotten. Missa flew all the way here just so we could all be together again as we wished you a happy birthday in Heaven! At times this whole this still feels like a bad nightmare that I can't wake up from. I just pray your playing and laughing in Heaven having the best birthday ever! Love you and miss ya buddy! Xo love you always!

Hello Rich, Christmas is over and it hurt every bit & more than I thought it would. I know you are ok, I know you are looking over us, I just can't
adjust to not seeing you physically. Not going to dinner, not seeing you on the weekends, just plain not seeing you at all. I do look to heaven and see you there smiling down and watching over us, but it's not the same. There will never be a time that this feeling can ever get better because until my time comes, I will miss you every single day until, God willing, I meet you in Heaven! Keep smiling, "Love you Always"
