I feel truly blessed to have spent time with you and all the wonderful memories we shared. My boys always loved you and the sling shots and other homemade things you made them. I still have heartburn from your famous hot sauce. I remember your excitement when the butler served all of us dinner in our suite on our cruise to Bermuda. You and Aunt Audrey were always so loving, kind, supportive and encouraging over the many years. I will miss you and treasure our time together. You will always be loved and never forgotten by me and my family. I look forward to spending time with you and Aunt Audrey in heaven. I love you Uncle Richard. Your loving niece.
