And so, Uncle Rich, it is your favorite niece (kinda)...always with love (even if there may be a different favorite niece!). I have no filter (a wee bit like my Godmother!!). However, my memories of you and our entire family will never be erased, nor lost! I have this really cool idea of heaven -- and so, there you are with my dad, my grandpop, a very special Michael Todd, Callahans and Boyles (way too many to count) and your family!!! So I feel sure you all are "sitting there [on a pier] having a beer;" giggling wondering when we all "should have listened to you" about the unnecessary stress and the attempts all of you made to teach us to "not sweat the small stuff -- 'AND if is all small stuff....'" Hopefully, my cousins, my brother and I realize that "the good Lord know the reasons why He brought you home. He has a greater plan which is hard to understand and makes no sense to us right now...." And so, for now my friend,.....until we meet again....please be our angel who will guide us and remind us that the memories we all had with all of you in heaven will last forever!!! We all wish we had just "one more time to see all of you again to say -- 'You all were right!!" I love you.
