I'd like to extend my regards to the Zittrouer family for their loss. During such times, the scriptures can give comfort and hope for the future. Please note the words of First Corinthians 15:21, 22-"For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying so also in the CHRIST all will be made alive..."

Faye, Richard was a good friend in high school (Jenkins) He introduced me to my boys father, Harold Albritton of Atlanta. Losing a loved one is always hard...when it's expected and when it's sudden and unexpected. I will be keeping you in my prayers. I know your faith in God will bring you much comfort.
