Bobby:

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. I heard how proud you were of her at your wedding. I hope you will always cherish that special time. I lost my father suddenly a few years ago and know how difficult it is, but they will always be in our hearts and memories.

Please let me know if I can do anything to help.

I love my mother with all of my heart. I'm thankful that she was able to witness Lori and I grow into adults and start our own families. She got to experience youth again with her grandsons Ben and Troy. I had the priviledge to dance with her at my wedding and she had a close connection with my wife Brooke.

To my father, I will always stand by your side and want you to know that you are not

To my father, I will always stand by your side and want you to know that you are not alone. We have a wonderful group of friends and family support.

I will miss her deeply but we will always have her in our hearts and she will be watching over us everyday.

Today is a very hard day – little did anyone expect that a month after our wedding we would lose Bobby’s grandfather and almost exactly two months from our wedding day we would be planning his mother’s funeral. My heart aches for my family this last week has been a struggle to say the least and I want to thank all my family and friends for supporting us with kind words and loving actions. The last conversation I had with

Today is a very hard day – little did anyone expect that a month after our wedding we would lose Bobby’s grandfather and almost exactly two months from our wedding day we would be planning his mother’s funeral. My heart aches for my family this last week has been a struggle to say the least and I want to thank all my family and friends for supporting us with kind words and loving actions. The last conversation I had with my Mother in Law was on Christmas – she was not feeling well and couldn’t come to the table to eat with us. I went into her room to check on her and to see if I could fix her a plate and she said she would come and get something later…she looked at me and told me to just take care of her son and I laughingly told her that he took care of me more than I did him and her response was “that is just like my husband.” I wish I would have known what I knew now I would have sat with you and told you how strong you were and how I admired your spirit, I would have shown you the pictures from the wedding online and our honeymoon shots you wanted to see so badly – most of all I would have thanked you again for adopting my husband and turning him into a man everyone respects and loves. I promise to take care of your little boy Mom….he is my entire world – we all miss and love you. We will still be best friends just in a different regard….May God give you peace, calming surroundings, and no more pain or discomfort.

AS CHILDREN SUSIE AND I WERE INSEPERABLE. I HELPED TO TEACH HER HOW TO RIDE HER BIKE AND USE ROLLER SKATES. WE DID SKITS TOGETHER DURING THE SUMMERS AT THE LOCAL PARKS AND RECREATION CENTERS WITH OUR AUNT NORMA. GRANDPA RICHARDS WOULD OFTEN TAKE US DOWNTOWN MIAMI TO BUY TOYS . THE VERY BEST TIME WAS WHEN HE BOUGHT HER A LITTLE TOY THAT YOU PUSHED AND LITTLE BALLS POPPED UP AND DOWN INSIDE. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANYONE

AS CHILDREN SUSIE AND I WERE INSEPERABLE. I HELPED TO TEACH HER HOW TO RIDE HER BIKE AND USE ROLLER SKATES. WE DID SKITS TOGETHER DURING THE SUMMERS AT THE LOCAL PARKS AND RECREATION CENTERS WITH OUR AUNT NORMA. GRANDPA RICHARDS WOULD OFTEN TAKE US DOWNTOWN MIAMI TO BUY TOYS . THE VERY BEST TIME WAS WHEN HE BOUGHT HER A LITTLE TOY THAT YOU PUSHED AND LITTLE BALLS POPPED UP AND DOWN INSIDE. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANYONE IN TOWN THAT SHE DID NOT SHOW HER NEW TOY TO. WE ENJOYED GOING TO OUR GRANDPA RICHARDS HOUSE TO PLAY UP ON HIS ROOF AND ALSO WITH HIS COLLECTION OF CHICKENS. ONE DAY WE PLAYED TOGETHER SO HARD THAT I ACCIDENTALLY BROKE HER ARM AND HAD TO CARRY HER HOME AND EXPLAIN TO MY MOM AND DAD WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I F WE COULD REPLAY PARTS OF OUR LIVES I WOULD GO BACK TO THAT TIME WITH HER IN A HEARTBEAT. WE LOVED EACH OTHER VERY MUCH. I WILL ALWAYS KNOW THAT SHE IS WATCHING OVER ME.

Our hearts, love and prayers go out to your family as you struggle to cope with your loss. I will forever remember Susan sitting in her director's chair on the sidelines, cheering on Bobby's soccer teams and her boys.
I am certain that she is watching over all of you now, free of the pain that so dogged her days.
Love from the Hills

I am so sorry to hear of Susan's passing. Even though her suffering is over, words cannot express the sadness that we are sharing at this time.
Take this time to reflect upon all of the wonderful times that you all have shared together knowing that her love still shines down upon you.
Hang in there Bubba. A lot of love and prayers are pouring out for you and your family. Godspeed Susan.

Bob,

Please accept our condolences. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to you big Bubba and your entire family, this sad news of Susan's passing aches my heart as it does yours. Know that I am thinking of you, praying and sending you all good wishes for the fond memories to help lift the burdern and ease your sadness.

It's hard for us that will stay here, but I'm pretty sure she's in a much better place right know. Talk about her all the time will make the transition much smoother to us.
