    Uncle Richard to my little girls, though you were my kindest brother-in-law, I will be forever grateful having you in my life by and being a true gentleman to my big sister 💕 Thanks for restoring my faith that there are good men out there. I was in search for a simple love like that too ❤️ Thank you for your hours of listening to endless chatter, binge watching Outlander, a big ol' genuine and comforting hug during one of my heartbreaks, being welcoming when I repatriated from the Middle East, and for joining in celebrating family and future. You are so very missed. I promise to read Lorna Doone and sip on some coffee with shortbread cookies in your honor. Much love ❤️ and I so very much look forward to seeing you again in paradise as promised and you so very much deserve. Rest peacefully in God's arms and memory till that glorious day when I'll see you in perfect health and get to watch the squirrels and birds with you in all their beautiful array 🌈 ⛅️ 🪦 Love, Bethany
