To Ann Pringle Washington and family:
Dear Friends be encouraged in the lord and in the power of his might. While you are hurting due to the loss of Richard’s presence try to remember that he has completed his assignment and has moved on the the next position god has called him too. Since I have known Richard he has always impressed me as being a trail blazer for himself, his family and others. Richard has accepted his call and will continue to be a trail blazer while performing his heavenly call. We will see and meet him again one day.
Wendy and I will truly miss Richard. He was a dear friend. We send our love to the Washington family and pray God grants you comfort in this time of loss. Though our hearts are heavy, we know Richard lives eternally.
There were three of us that were very close in high school and through the years. Richard was one of the three and I will always honor the memories. When God comes back I believe we will see each other again.
God bless the family.
Love you all much!!!
Franklin Jr. and family

To the Family of Mr. Richard Washington:
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
May the word of God comfort you during your time of sorrow.
From: Vernon Haney and Family, Detroit, Michigan
