Hey the biggest thing i remember about Richie is him dancing with me when i was the flower girl at uncle Bobs wedding, When ever he called me or i heard his name I always pictured the older boy that danced with a very tiny 4 year old. I know Richie will be greatly missed but he is in a better place. Richie is is now in a place were he will always be protected. MY love to all the family and see you tomorrow

Tammy/Peaches & Family~Hugs, Thoughts & Prayers for all of you. I am so sorry for your loss…Richie sounded like a wonderful person..Hope the following quote helps: “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are at peace.”
Peaches, if you need to talk, cry, need a shoulder…I’m here. Love you girl.
