I know she misses his hugs and his support for herself and for her husband,Richard. He was quite simply a great father and husband,irreplaceable. Sending much love from Kerry,Emily,Olivia and Grace xxxx
Richard was a good friend to me and a good uncle to my daughter Irene. I remember him as an applied student at Thomas Jefferson High School. He was a compassionate individual with words of encouragement no matter what the situation might have been. His family might have lost a family member but heaven acquired an angel. Richie, thank you for being a surrogate father to my Irene, a friend who was always there to listen and give advice. I will miss you and will also cherish your memory. God bless you and rest in peace my friend.
My heartfelt condolences to the friends and family that were dear to Mr Chabrier. My hope is that you find comfort reading Isaiah 33:24 where it states that no one under God’s government, which we ask for in our prayer, will ever say they’re ill.
We will never forget your love and support to our granddaughter Charlotte when she came to live in Texas. The Chabrier family made her most welcome and she loves you all dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Blanca, Richard,Jennefer and Charlii. You will be deeply missed by a lot of people. Rest In Peace.
