  15. Richie, My Brother-in law, My Brother, I can't believe you've gained your Angel wings already. We weren't ready for it. Thank you for being there for my sister all these years. We've had so many great times together, working with you at the Flea market, when you and Lynne came to visit, and let's not forget the BBQ's at your house. I will always cherish the memories. You and Lynne have been there for me since I moved to Florida, I will never forget it. I love you my brother and you will truly be missed. Rest assured, I will be by Lynne's side and she will be fine in time. Rest in Peace my Brother until we see each other again.
