From the family of Richard E. Freeman, we want to express our heartfelt return of thanks to all the friends and loved ones for the love and kindness shown for our beloved Richard. Love and kindness or compassionately known as respect, is given from the heart, and shown in multiple ways. From the phone messages and calls to give thoughts and prayers, to the outstretched arms ringing the home doorbell while carrying delicious plates of food and a tearful hug. The private silent souls that viewed and signed the attendance book. The persons that stood happily in a lengthy line for visitation to shake a hand and give a hug. The attendee that sat in a pew to hear messages from the scripture and to listen to or give a wonderful memory made over a lifetime. The singers of songs, the directors of peaceful rest, and the man of the Lord that delivered the final message. All of this done with the greatest respect for a man we all loved and cherished, and for who we will never forget. Go to heaven a shouting, for son your time on earth is done, go listen to mother sing the Old Rugged Cross, and be yourself once again. We will all see you someday. The Family, Bonnie Freeman; Steve & Lori Freeman; Steve & Sonja Duley; grandkids & great grandkids, would like to again thank everyone for the respect of love and kindness in however it was given, to help to heal in this challenging time.
