My Daddy, David Richard was a big man with a big presence. He loved my sister and I with his whole heart. We never doubted for a moment his love for us. My momma however he loved with every ounce of his being, I call theirs a love story for the ages. They showed me how to love and to be loved. I will forever carry the precious memories I have of him and he will continue to live on in my heart till we meet again. I love you my precious Daddy, you will always be my Hero. Angie
