  9. Dear Uncle Richie, I have so many fond memories of my time in Tennessee and your visits to NY. Me, Lisa, and Nanny had such a great time with you…even with all of those life lessons and rules you gave us. I am so sorry to hear you had passed but I know you are with Jesus, and out of pain. Thank you for the memories. You will be missed. đź’ś
