Dear Grace, Ryan, Aunty Nancy, Linda and David,
I want to remember Richard as he always was – funny, warm and forever pulling our leg about one thing or another. He was like an Uncle to us too. Meeting him recently in Toronto was bitter sweet. It was great to see him but I missed not being able to converse with him, to respond to his witty remarks. He brought a lot of joy into all of our lives. May God bless him. My deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Love,
Jehan
Thanks very much Jehan Ara.
