Oh, dear Richards family; We are so sorry for the loss of your mom...the world is a different place without our mothers in it, and we know you are hurting, but we are praying for you and thanking God that He has made a place for Aunt Irene in Heaven, and that she is reunited with her loved ones and at peace! She was a wonderful, loving woman - and her legacy will continue on through you, her children. I just loved her laugh, and can still hear it! Her joy was her family and her God. John & I are also very sorry that we cannot be there today to hug each of you - it's been such a long time since we've seen you all. We are thankful that you are all together and doing well. Irene died on my moms birthday...and today is our 30th wedding anniversary and we both have the flu! John yesterday, me today! We had every intention of coming to both the visitation and the funeral, but bringing our germs with us was not an option. So, that is why we're leaving such a long message...wanted you all to know that we love you, we're praying for you, and we Praise our God for His promises!! Take care of each other! Wishing you the Blessing of Peace! We will be making a donation to the Dalton church kitchen fund, in Aunt Irenes memory. Thank you.##imported-begin##Cathie & John Kriesel##imported-end##
