So sorry to hear of Richard passing. My dad thought a lot of him. My thoughts and prayers are lifted up for peace and comfort for his family.
I knew Frog for many many years as i would see him sometimes at Bazemores store in Cofield and i also grew up just down the road at the Flowers Farm. He was always interesting to listen to and was always a highly respected person in the community. I am sorry for the family loss as he will be greatly missed.
Our community has lost another special person. Praying for you Ms. Frances and family. May God comfort and keep, be gracious to you, make His face shine upon you and give you peace. His presence will be missed, but, Mr. Richard got to celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection face to face!
A light from our community has gone out but that spirit still shines brightly in our hearts and memory. Mr. Richard was an active Deacon, and above all else a faithful man of God. Blessings on Mrs. Frances and family during this time of grief and loss. May the peace of the Lord fill your heart now and everyday!
Love and light to Frances and all of the family. Uncle Bud was a very special man. Love you all!
My sincere sympathies. Prayers for the family. He was a wonderful Christian man
