Dear family of Mary Lou,
My name is Jaydah Talmadge (email: jtalmadge123@yahoo.com). I had the pleasure of meeting Richard today at the Auction Barn restaurant in Argyle. He was sitting at the counter all by himself, and I was seated right next to him. Immediately after I sat down he started a conversation with me. He asked how old I was, where I was from, what grade I’m in, etc. He then continued to tell me more about himself and what he has been through in his life. He seemed very excited to have somebody to talk to. He then went on to tell me about the passing of his beloved wife Mary Lou on Friday. Richard talked about her for a solid 20 minutes, telling me about the adventures they had throughout their lives together. He truly touched my heart and I’m so glad to have met him. If there is anything me or my family can do, let me know. My email is listed above and you can find me on Facebook. Richard, thank you for opening up to me. It was truly a blessing to get to know you. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss.
