Tammy, what a great tribute to Rich.He's a man we will all miss. Not just a man, a support system, one filled with humor.A poem... I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone From beginning..to the end He noted that first came her date of birth, and spoke the following date with tears. But he said what mattered most of all, Was the dash between those years. For the dash reprsents all the time that she spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved her, Know what that little dash is worth For it matters not, how much we own The cars..the house..the cash. What matters is how we lived & loved, And how we spent our dash. So think about this long & hard... Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough, To consider what's true & real, And always try to understand The way other people feel And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile... Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while. So when your eulogy's being read With your life's actions to rehash, Would you be proud of the thing they say, About how you lived your dash? I think Rich lived his dash with the utmost life offered. He was a man to be respected and admired. I will miss him very much. Your Friend Ben (Benboy)

Rich was a great friend in the short time since I met him. We should not concern ourselves with the material possessions we attain while here, but rather the friends we meet along the way on our journey through life. Rich you aren't gone you have just went into another room that I don't have a password for yet. We will all meet someday when that time is right you have just gone on to what awaits us. See You someday my friend GOD willing. I know you are waiting for us
These prayers are from the service for Bree that we had in alladins room and they were done by MjChef:
SAFELY HOME
I AM HOME IN HEAVEN, DEAR ONES:
OH SO HAPPY AND SO BRIGHT!
THERE IS PERFECT JOY AND BEAUTY
IN THIS EVERLASTING LIGHT.
ALL THE PAIN AND GRIEF IS OVER,
EVERY RESTLESS TOSSING PASSED;
I AM NOW AT PEACE FOREVER,
SAFELY HOME IN HEAVEN AT LAST.
DID YOU WONDER WHY I SO CALMLY
TROD THE VALLEY OF THE SHADE?
OH! BUT JESUS' LOVE ILLUMINATED
EVERY DARK AND FEARFUL GLADE.
AND HE CAME HIMSELF TO MEET ME
IN THAT WAY SO HARD TO TREAD;
AND WITH JESUS' ARM TO LEAN ON,
COULD I HAVE ONE DOUBT OR DREAD?
THEN YOU MUST NOT GRIEVE SO SORELY,
FOR I LOVE YOU DEARLY STILL;
TRY TO LOOK BEYOND EARTH'S SHADOWS,
PRAY TO TRUST OUR FATHERS WILL.
THERE IS WORK STILL WAITING FOR YOU,
SO YOU MUST NOT IDLY STAND;
DO IT NOW, WHILE LIFE REMAINETH-
YOU SHALL REST IN JESUS' LAND.
WHEN ALL THAT WORK IS COMPLETED,
HE WILL GENTLY CALL YOU HOME;
OH, THE RAPTURE OF THAT MEETING,
OH THE JOY TO SEE YOU COME!
Matt
MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO
WHEN I COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD
AND THE SUN HAS SET FOR ME,
I WANT NO RITES IN A GLOOM FILLED ROOM;
WHY CRY FOR A SOUL SET FREE.
MISS ME A LITTLE, BUT NOT TOO LONG
AND NOT WITH YOUR HEAD BOWED LOW;
REMEMBER THE LOVE WE ONCE SHARED,
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO
FOR THIS JOURNEY WE ALL MUST TAKE
AND ALL MUST GO ALONE.
IT'S ALL A PART OF THE MASTER'S PLAN,
A STEP ON THE ROAD TO HOME.
WHEN YOU ARE LONELY AND SICK OF HEART,
GO TO THE FRIENDS WE KNOW,
BURY YOUR SORROWS IN DOING GOOD DEEDS;
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO.
GOD SPEED BREE , WE LOVE YOU !
Matt
