Donna and Family~

We were so very sorry to hear about Rich's death; but glad that God decided to relieve him of his suffering here on Earth and take him home to be with Aunt Eloise and Uncle Tom.

Our wish is that the grief in your hearts will soon be replaced by the loving thoughts of Rich as you reflect on all of the happy moments you shared.

Love,
Peg & Dan Cain
