FeAna,
I was sorry to see of the passing of Richard. I had wondered where you were in the past years. I still have the picture of Laura and Adam with Richard and Alyssa on the couch oh so many years ago. Alyssa will be gone 9 years in December. Just remember, God only borrows them to us and we love them for the time they are here.
Now there are 2 special angels with the Lord.
God Bless you all

I am so sorry to read of Richard’s passing. His smile and laughter brought joy to those who knew him. I am sure that Eva was there at the gates of Heaven to hug him and welcome him in.
Richard captured a piece of my heart years ago and still today, I reminisce about our play sessions and his infectious laughter. It still rings in my ears ~ the sound of an angel. No words can express my deepest condolences. May He who neither sleeps nor slumbers keep and guide each of you.
My dearest FeAna…what does a “sister” say in times like these? My heart, my very breath goes out to you in your time of missing Richard so terribly!! I hope to be there for you on the 14th of Sept and may have Amanda with me. The rest of my family is attempting the same. We are here for you whenever, for whatever you may need and however we can! We love you, FeAna! Our thoughts, prayers and condolences for you and your families.

FeAn and Family, my sincere condolences to you upon your son’s passing. I too, have lost two sons and know the grief. My prayers and heart go out to you.
FeAna, so sorry to hear about Richard. Praying for Gods peace and healing to be with you and your family.
FeAnna I hope you remember me, Sue Baker from Grand Junction. I remember the countless hours you and I spent working with Richard as an infant trying and succeeding, I might add, at getting Richard to suck on a bottle so his feeding tube could be removed. What precious memories for me. I cannot express my sorrow at your loss. We had lost touch and I often wondered what had happened to you and if Richard was still at the regional center. Now he is with his heavenly Father. My deepest sympathy to you. I would love to hear from you to catch up.
Sue
To the family of Richard, The service was so nice, the pictures and music so special. We are thinking of you all.
Love, Paula and Jim Berg
