A CHILDHOOD FRIEND
Life progresses in many different ways and directions, there will always be sorrow and happiness!
But one ray of sunshine I will never forget from my childhood is one of the most gentle, sweetest human beings I have ever known! Richie always had that kind of laugh that made you laugh even when he was teasing me. A bright smile and a kind word was the basis of his personality and when ever I think of him, it will be very fondly. My prayer to God is to bless and comfort The Hammond Family in this deep time of sorrow.
