Paula and family, so sorry for your loss and want to express our sympathy to you . Richard had a sweet spirit. My fondest memories of Richard was at mothers house, he just adored "Aunt Tootie" . He was always dressed so nice, and she would say "and he smells good too". Richard had a special place in moms heart. May your memories sustain you during this difficult time.
