To all of the family,
I am so very sorry for your loss, and I truly apologize for my lateness, I was unaware until I read past obituary notices today.
I loved your Mom so much! I'll never forget the first time I met the family and first sleep over with Becky. I thought I had landed on a strange planet! Your family was like the "Leave it to beaver" TV show, I never imagined such a family really existed. Before we tucked in for the night your Mom and Dad came in with iced cold, orange shaped plastic sippin' drinks along with cookie chasers and I was included! I will never forget that night as long as I breathe, I never felt so special and never wanted to leave your home!
Your Mom has always been so kind, thoughtful, understanding and supportive to me. The last time I was with her my Father was having heart surgery and as so often happens; my family was in utter chaos. Bev and Becky called me and stopped for a visit in what was one of my darkest hours, Bev hugged me tight and her words of wisdom calmed me and reassured me that I was and always have been the best daughter and sister any person could desire.
I shall never forget that day, whenever life's bumpy roads get me down and the hurts feel like open wounds, I mentally go back to that day and remember her arms around me and those wonderful words in my ear.
Again, I am so sorry for your loss and wish I had known before today.
God Bless you all, I love you all and will always treasure those childhood days when you let me in and made me part of your family. Thank so much for those memories.
Love to all,
Christine Lynn Richeson-Graham
