It is hard for me to wrap words around my feelings. Mrs. Richter, you were such a source of comfort, strength and quiet resolve all throughout my life. You always made difficult situations seem somehow accecptable because of your quiet faith. I know that you were sick and I am so grateful that you were brave enough to leave before the getting got really bad. I will miss you. I will miss knowing that you are out there somewhere doing your little thing. However, I truly believe that you are someplace better and you deserve that. I promise that your gentle spirit will never be forgotten and for the years that you shared with me I will carry in my heart forever. I pray that you are at peace, with the rest of your loved ones and know that for those that are still here, you taught them well and they will be just fine...in time. I love you, Mrs. Richter and thanks for all of the wonderful memories. We share something very special and that is a gift. Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to that which lies within us. Peace.
Love,
