parents home in Lynwood, the little
teeny tiny car, meeting up at
the Lynnwood carnival,the bike rides
and picnic at Irvine Park high school

...Halloween parties, your
wedding, the happiness of your
Fullerton home,births of the
babies,....the endless teasing,
so many countless entertaining times playing pool ! they're all going
to stay just as they are and for you
my friend, I'm glad you're at peace
now and out of pain you will forever
stay in my heart. I will miss our long talks.........??

Richie, I'll always remember sitting next to you in Ms Valencia's art class and how creative you were. Also all the good times we had when you lived in San Diego with Spider, Victor and Pat when the girls would go visit. You were such sweetheart. You will be missed by everyone, Love You Ritchie.

In our time mourning it gives us time to reflex, being firstborn has its responsibility, you couldn't have found a better big brother which of course reflects upon his mother and father which I believe gave him the love and understanding he needed to do such a good job of raising his two Eric and Amanda, and the many who have cross Richie's path know what a friend he is. I'm proud and blessed to have had Richie in my life.take comfort in knowing Richie will forever be in our thoughts and hearts
love you brother

Aunt Jeanette had a vision. She was sitting in the bathroom in our home in Echo Park. Grandma Denise opened the door and was singing and dancing. Jeanette asked her "why are you so happy?" She answered...."Because my children are coming home."
Rest assured, he is home, he is safe, no more pain, no sorrow, and in a better place forever.

I missed a lot of years with you, cousin, and I'm glad I got to see you once I moved back here. I have a lot of really good memories of you, though, especially of you and Curt. Whenever I think of you, I remember the smile that was always present, and your easy-going personality. I'm so glad that people will be able to appreciate your art for years to come and remember you that way.

Say hello to my brother, and to Grandma, Grandpa, Steven and Mike.

Love,

Little Thela
