"Our beloved and cherished son, Richard, was
only here for nine months. He already has left an impression on us for a
lifetime. He will be loved and remembered in our hearts forever. He loved to
play with his brothers, Jason and Anthony, and enjoyed letting his sister,
Jamie, terrorize him. He loved playing with his toys and chasing his bottle. We
will remember his loving smile and his laughter. He left beautiful moments in
our minds and will always be carried on in our hearts. We love you Richard," his
family said.

Craig Chernikoff; brothers, Jason Alto and Anthony Chernikoff; sister, Jamie
