A gentleman from church has gone to be with the Lord. He died some time mid-last week of a heart attack. However, since he lived alone it wasn’t discovered until earlier this week. Strangely enough on Easter Sunday I had seen him lose his balance a little on some steps and ran to assist him because I wanted to make sure he was OK. Richard was a very sweet man. Assuming I reach his age I pray that I am just as sweet (though I hope I’m living with my bride still). He would dote on Abby, who, being a little shy towards men in general, wasn’t sure what to do with him. However, he kindly gave her a birthday card as he did to me and Jessica even though we hardly knew him.

I’m grateful that Richard is with the Lord and a little jealous… we’ll see them soon enough.
