Richie lived in Neptune City when he was a kid, I mistakenly put Bradley Beach. It's been a long time.

I have not seen Richie since he was a kid. We went to a Christian camp one year and did the innocent things that the kids at camp did, like play shuffle board. I'll never forget how much he enjoyed the hay ride. When he lived in Bradley Beach, he always had these really cool new toys that would light up; things like "Simon-Says". I will always remember Richie as I knew him, a very innocent fun loving kid.

To the Family, You are in my thoughts. Unfortunately, I have no words to describe the pain of losing someone after fighting so hard to keep them, the world is full of crazy things. Life is one day at a time. Remember the beautiful memories, the ones that bring a smile to your face, those are the times you should cherish. Your family has been a god-send to Andy and I when we were battling and I would love to re-pay your kindness. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Remember you still have each other, and a STRONG united family can keep going. Hold each other up and brush each other off and one day you will be able to say we did it! It hurt like Hell but we did it. I love you all. Please do not hesitate to reach out when you would like a helping hand. Love, Vanessa Hampel

I remember the first time we meet like it was yesterday. You had just finished your first day of school in Farmingdale and you were sitting on the fence while me and Michael were playing. My mom told Michael to invite you over and he said no. I told my mom I would do it so I walk over to you and said "you wanna play with us?" you just shook your head and climbed over the fence that connected our back yards. That was the first of many days we would spend together. I will hold all our memories and good times in my heart till we meet again. Rest in peace ♥ Michelle Cordero
