You are such a loving family and I am so so sorry.

My prayers have been stored up for you and your family during this time. You all have my deepest sympathy. May God continue to give you peace, comfort and strength for he is a present help during times you need him most. Call on his name; he's right there holding your hand.

May God continue to bless your family through this hard time, continue to keep and put your trust in him and he will guide your path.

I will continue to pray that God strengthens u all..

Desmond Murphy #95

"I'll send you for a little time,
A child of mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.

"It may six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

"He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have these precious memories,
As solace for your grief.

"I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

"I've looked this whole world over,
In my search for teachers true.
And in the crowds that throng life's land,
I have selected you.

"Now will you give him all your love
Not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take him back again?"

It seems to me I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy Will be done.
For all the joys thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

"We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.

"And should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we'd planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.


To the Richardson family, may you find peace in knowing CJ did brighten and gladden our days. He was a spunky, unique, one-of-a-kind kid that I will never forget. You have been, and will continue to be in my prayers.

It saddens my heart to know his battle is lost. It is with joy that because he was the person, he was, that he is in good hands. He would talk to me often, early in the mornings on duty. He was always up lifting. God's strength will get you through a tough time.

Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

My prayers and thoughts are with Pam, Chot, and Cameron at this difficult time. Look to the Hills whence cometh your help. All of your help cometh from the Lord. Psalm 121

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed:
I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder how I so calmly Trod the valley of shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined every dark and fearful glade.
And he came himself to meet me in that way so hard to tread.
And with Jesus' arm to lean on, could have no doubt or dread.
Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you. So you must not idly stand:
Do it now, while life remaineth - You shall rest in Jesus' land
when that work is all completed. He will gently call you home:
Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come!

Our prayers are with you and your family during this time of bereavement.

Our Prayer to CJ's family for God to wrap his arms around you to feel his LOVE as you mourn this loss. Rhead played Basketball and football with CJ, they were good friends! What an awesome inspiration he was to my son and his friends. What a blessing for us to be in his midst as he was an angel here on earth, who touched so many lives! You will be missed CJ but never forgotten!

I didn't get the priviledge to personally know CJ, but from what I have learned about him through "CJ's walk", (as it was called on facebook) He was a remarkably strong young man; A real *FIGHTER* in life. I sympathize with you and your family, and I am sorry for your loss. But to, I'm excited about heaven's gain. God has plans for such an angel as CJ. Heaven is rejoicing! Let us to rejoice in the Lord for he has done great things in the life of CJ. He has given him *ETERNAL LIFE* along with his rest from all of his pain and suffering. To God be the Glory!! And remember, earth has no sorry that heaven can not heal. I love you and will continue to lift you and your family up before the Lord in fervent prayer.

Pam and Charles and am praying for your family. I am asking God to give you the strength that you need to go through your loss.We may never know what all you have already gone through and what you are going through now. But do know this, your baby boy is now resting with King Jesus and does not have to ever suffer again.May God Bless you and keep you in his loving embrace.

Dear Richardson family,
While recently attending my nephews baseball game I noticed a young boy who was so full of life. I have a toddler son and immediately he went up to this smiling boy. I watched as your son gave mine high fives and giggles for a large part of the night. I didn't know his name and just recently found out about his courageous battle. I would have never guessed he was sick because he was illuminating with joy. I guess I just wanted to let you know that I noticed how wonderful CJ was in that short period of time and I would have been very proud to have known him as I know y'all were proud to have him as your son, if even for a brief time. I send my deepest condolences and have and will continue to pray for your family.

There really are no words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I never got to meet CJ but I can tell that he was an amazing young man.

Pam - your posts on FB have been a true inspiration to me - you are the strongest person I know. I am so sorry that you have suffered this terrible loss.

He will be missed by so many and I know he will never be forgotten.
