Three people became heroes July 5th.
Three heroes acted that day.
Three heroes cared.
Three heroes acted.
Three heroes saved a life.

A man died that day. he died a hero. 
My sister said, " I guess heaven needed another hero."
Mr Richard was a second father to my two older sisters and I.
His daughter, like a sister. 
His family like my family.
We called him R Diddy. :)
We all had insider jokes.  
We were all tight like that. :)

Mr Richard was a man to be respected.
Small in stature. But a giant in spirit.
He was a spiritual giant. He loved.
He cared.
That day, he took action.
He gave his life.

There's "R Diddy" One of the greatest men I've ever known.

  1. Amanda,
    This totally sums up R. Diddy! He was most definitely one of the greatest men I know! He is/was a hero! I cherish the memories that I have with him! I know that God has an extraordinary plan for those that love him. He is going to use this to help grow us stronger and closer with Him.

    We are going to and already do miss R. Diddy oh so much! We have to remember that he is in a better place with his first little girl. :) She now has her daddy again. Thank you so much Jesus for letting us have the time that we did with him!

    We love and miss you so very much R. Diddy! See you again someday!

  2. Words from someone who did not know him, might seem shallow. However from what I have heard, He sounds like a really good guy. It would had been nice to know him.
