Good Bye to a Very Special Man



Almon Haskell Richardson (Terry's Dad) passed away on Monday March 26. He was admitted to the hospital for the first time in his life on February 14. He went in again on the 21st for quintuple bypass surgery. He had four surgeries in two weeks. He was planning on going home on Tuesday. He told Terry on Sunday evening that his was going home "tomorrow." We just didn't know that his was going home to his sweet wife Betty and our Heavenly Father and not to us. We will truly miss our sweet Haskell "aka Poo".

I am so proud of my sweetheart Terry for putting together his dad's memorial service and taking care of his dad's personal items this past week. He did an incredible job. I love him so much.

Until we meet again our sweet Haskell. We love you!!
