It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I let you know that Richard passed away Tuesday night at home.  
Our hearts ache and greave for his physical loss from our day-to-day lives, but we rejoice as we know that he is with God and his family and friends that have passed before him, in his new, perfect heavenly home. 
We thank you for your months of love, calls, cards, assistance and prayers. Please continue to pray for the family during this really hard transition.
