Ada, I wish we could be there to sit & hold your hand through this time. I'm so sorry that Hannah will never know Richie (watch games shows & ball games on TV with). I remember those times with one huge smile! I loved sitting with him. We love you & "the guys" so much & we wanted you to know that we are there with you. Lots of love, hugs & kisses...Kara, Randy & Hannah

Dear Auntie Della,

My heart goes out to you. Please stay strong.

Richie is in a much better place. He and my Mom are probably making plans to go to "Theater On The Lake"!

Richie was such an inspiration to me throughout my life. He truly fought the good fight and won.

I love you,

Tina
