A Celebration of Rich: Tributes

<< < (46/57) > >>

Penthesilea:
Thank you Marcia, for your words and the update on Elisabeth. I had hoped you would check in with us. Thank you so much for doing so.
The photo - oh my gosh! Everything child-like is completely gone and she's really a young woman now. And a beautiful one at that. I wouldn't have recognized her, knowing her from earlier photos only.
I'm glad to hear she's doing well, and in contact with Gene's sons and Rich's friend. Already having a learner's permit - wow, that is something I can hardly imagine coming from a country where you can't drive at such a young age.
I'm sad and happy to see what a difference three years make. Happy because I know how proud Rich would be, happy to learn she's doing fine. But also sad because I can't believe it's already three years that Rich is gone. He should have shared those years and many more with her and with all his family. :'(

Like Paul already said, our community also misses Rich dearly and he's still part of us.

Wishing Elisabeth and you all the best!
Chrissi

Wow!

Marcia, Bizzy's beautiful.  Rich would be so proud!  There wasn't a conversation that would happen between he and I where he didn't mention her in some way.

Mandy21:
Thanks for taking the time to do this, Marcia.  Told ya folks would be pleased to see Bizzy again.  Take care, good friend.

Kelda:
Marcia,

Thanks so much for the update.

Bizzy has turned into such a gorgeous young woman. Richard would indeed be very very proud.

And he would agree with you about the 'car date' I am a 100% sure!

I'm glad Bizzy is keeping in touch with her 'Brothers' and her Dad's old friends.

--- Quote from: Katie77 on July 30, 2013, 07:20:59 pm ---I've just been sitting here looking at the photo or Rich on the front page...looking at that handsome young man, so young, with a future in front of him, happy there beside his horse, unaware that we would be looking at that photo after he was gone.

I thought of his daughter, his partner Gene, his parents, his siblings, and I thought about all of his friends, particularly the ones he met through here. Some he met in real life and formed life long friendships and the promise of meeting up again as soon as they could....I feel their sadness, of not being able to meet up again, but I envy them their memories of when they did. Then there were the friends that never got to meet him in "real life", those of us that may have occassionally posted on his blog, replied to something he may have written, some who got very close by more contact on here with him than others, and some who like me, had just read his story.

No matter how much or how little he touched our lives, his loss is still felt, whether we knew him or not, we still miss him, and today is a reminder of how much we do miss him, and miss that there was not more to his story, miss that there is not a more recent photo of him, just miss that he isn't still here with us.

Anyone reading this, knows what I mean. Everyone misses him, for all different reasons, their own stories about him, which bring a smile which can easily turn into a tear.....While ever we feel like that, he will always be part of us.

You said it so well, Sue, thank you.   And thank you, Marcia, for the update and the lovely picture.  :-*
