My father expressed in his last days how fortunate he felt to have us as his children but what he didn't know is we were the lucky ones. To say that my daddy was my hero, my protector, my guidance, the one I always went to when i didn't have the answer just simply would not be enough. See he was all of these things and so much more. 

As tomorrow creeps closer and the time for us to say goodbye. I find myself reaching into my memories and pulling out all the laughter, the love, the joy and most of all the amazing lessons he has taught me over the years. For you see it's not a goodbye at all. It is until i see you again daddy. 

I can't speak for anyone else but I'm sure my family can agree. We have the most amazing angel watching over us. 

Daddy I love you from the depths of the deepest ocean to the end of the universe. 


I grew up on Stevens Ave in Bellflower with the Richardson family and have so many fond memories playing in their yard and on the street. I am the same age as Mary Richardson Wells and was a bridesmaid in her wedding. My heart is broken to hear about Mike. It is always hard to leave someone so young. My thoughts and prayers are with his four children and grandchildren, and his brothers and sisters. May God always walk with all of you. 

I always thought of Mike as sort of a father. He even walked me down the isle on my wedding day. He will be greatly missed and forever loved.

Before he got sick Dad had came to College Station for the day and even though he hated dogs Princess Bella sure loved her Grandpa 

I can still remember how proud he was of me that day. This will forever be one of favorite memories. 

Heaven has gained a wonderful Angel.  Mike spent his life living for his children, one of the most selfless men I have had the pleasure to know. RIP sir you will be missed.

This is a fave memory of Mike. What a fun and caring man to be around. My condolence and my heart goes  out to his children.
