I knew him as a cute kid, when he wasn't doing so well AND when he put his life back together. It's just not fair. I will say that his memorial was a true testimony as to the number of people who cared about and loved him. I'll always remember that day and all the love. As we are busy planning our 30th school reunion, Richards name comes up so much. Eventhough you left us way too soon, you truly are missed. Richard my friend, you will always be my favorite ginger. Please visit me in my dreams sometime.
I am grateful to have had the time with you here on earth that we did, but I look forward to seeing you again in Heaven with no more pain and the love of our Heavenly Father! You are missed terribly!

Summertimes
I remember the nights in summer when we were kids, we would play out side till all hours, we made up games, played hide and seek. but I think that was the happiest for all of us because we were away from our parents. I always felt safe with Richie, he was never afraid of anything. He picked on me a lot but when no one else was around he was so sweet and caring. There is a special place in my heart for him. I thank you for making me feel a little safe in a childhood that wasn't I Love You Richie!!!!
Family film
Our Grandma gave me old reel-to-reel films to have transferred to DVD. When I watched the DVDs, there were some great shots of me and my cousins playing in Grandma's backyard. I had always loved the pictures of me, Sheri and Wendy as little girls. We were all just so dang cute! I was the little brunette, Sheri was the darling redhead and Wendy was the cupie doll blond.
Well, in these films, we get to see the other redhead! There's little Richie with his fiery red hair! Needless to say, he was pretty darn cute, too! I will always treasure these films that allow me to step back in time. It is nice to remember a time when all we cared about was playing together in Grandma's backyard, picking apricots and playing in the sprinklers.
Hugs to Sheri! Love to Ritchie! Goodness knows what trouble he's causing now! :):)
Dinner Laughs
I remember one night we were eating dinner as a family and Rich and I were calling each other names across the table, back and forth, back and forth...Finally my dad says thats it he will listen to one more name and then someone is gonna get an ass whoopin...So I say "good its my turn". We all laughed super hard and finished our dinner!
