My darling Richard,
If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together,
There’s something you must remember;
You’re braver than you believe,
And stronger than you seem,
And smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is even if we’re apart,
I’ll always be with you.
Dad,
There’s a special kind of feeling
When I think about you, Dad
It’s a pleasure to remember
All the happy times we’ve had.
There’s a special kind of caring
That is meant for you alone
There’s a place somewhere
Within my heart
That only you can own.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Richard
Samuel
