    This man! How he will be missed! He was a force to be reckoned with in our neighborhood, very protective. I will miss "visiting" him at his swing outside. I will miss seeing him in his swing, telling God what needed to be done on earth I suspect. My prayers for you, Emma, Richard and family are daily. May God be near to you at this time and in the weeks ahead.
