My brother, Paul (Radar) Arthur thought your Mother was the best example of what a mother should be in the whole world. He never failed to discuss his good times at your house when sharing old memories. I am very sorry for your loss.

Richie, we just heard about your mom this morning. I am so sorry for your loss. I told Hazel to tell you we would see you soon if not at Wallace's. We are thinking of you, praying for all of you. "I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan. I'll be waiting, drawing pictures in the sand. And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout! And come running thru the shallow waters, reaching for your hand"
