I can't begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Uncle Rich's death. A part of all of us is gone now and it is hard to let go. I like to think he is in heaven with his parents and siblings and that he is well and happy there. We were lucky to have him -- and he will be missed.
Thinking of you with love,
Linda
