Derek Richardson
Suddenly passed away 15th July 1999
Aged 58 years.
Dad worked as a plater working abroad in algeria, saudi arabia for many years but missed his
family so much came back to washington and worked for a company called westline engineering until
this closed. Due to health issuses he then worked for a courier company (part time ) as he did not
like the idea of not working at all and this carried on until his sudden death.
Dad lived in concord washington with his wife Norma.
Dad has 2 children, oldest Susan and youngest Denise.
He loved his family and especially his grandchildren - Alan, Sarah, Gavin, John, and Shona.
His mum and dad Freda and Harry lived in houghton - le - spring which was where he was born, and his
2 sisters Joyce and Anne live in shiney row.
My very special Dad died suddenly with a heart attack after suffering from angina for a few years.
My dad was one of the most caring and loving dads you could ever meet. He lived for his family and
would do anything for anybody. He was always there to help pick up the pieces in our lifes, if ever
i had a problem I knew who I would call or go to.
He was funny, caring, a good listener, loving and give great advice to anyone he met.
He also loved his yorkshire terrier dogs Brandy and Mitzy, and loved to go to his caravan every
weekend at witton castle taking the dogs and the granchildren with him.
My dad was the world to me and I will never ever forget him. He holds a very special big place in
my heart. He is in my thoughts every day and I still cannot believe he has gone. I LOVE YOU DAD X X
X X
Dad as you will know you now have 2 great grandchildren Jamie-Lee and Jordan who I know you would
have cherished please look over all of us and give us guidance just like you would have done.
WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU MILLIONS X X X X X X X X
Love You Millions Dad!

I would like to take this opportunity
To thank everyone for all the messages
And photographs that I have received
Since the birth of Our Third Grandson Millar Chris
They are all very much appreciated
I have read every single one
It’s brilliant to have a baby in the family again,
We are over the moon, but a little sad his
Uncle Christopher won’t get a chance to meet him,
He was a wonderful Uncle to our other two Grandson’s
Jack & Layton they miss him terribly… we all do.
Thanks again
Angela A Very Happy Gran X…. But A Very Sad Mum X

Tributes for this weekend
FOR FRIDAY
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
Forever in my heart
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
I lose my grip on reality
On each day that passes by;
I haven't a clue where I'm headed
Oh how this pain makes me cry
My world is changing so quickly
And I'm losing everything in sight;
Why can't things go back to how it used to be
So that everything would be alright
Why do we have to lose the ones we love
It's just not fair, it's just not right;
Oh why God do you take them
Can't you see, I'm filled with fright
The days come and go
But the pain, it stays forever;
It never really leaves your soul
When you know, you'll no longer be together
Your heart, it's ripped wide open
And even though you try to hide;
It will break and bleed continuously
And feel as though it will never subside
I can take this pain no longer
Oh how it's killing me inside;
What suffering we have to go through
When the ones we love, have died
Thoughts Today, Memories Forever

Those we love we never lose,
For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.
FOR MONDAY
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

THE GIFT OF MEMORY……
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥
I AM YOUR ANGEL......
I am an angel by your side,
Don't be scared or try to hide.
For I am here guiding you the way,
By your side here to stay.....
I will be with you, when times are hard,
So please do not worry, or put up a guard.
For I want you too see I am still here,
To keep you safe, and keep you near....
As an angel I want so much for you to know,
'How much I Love And Miss You So'
So if you see me, please do not hide,
I am the angel by your side...

Family Chain
We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

I PROMISE I WILL HEAR…..
Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand
When you thought I had died
And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life
Than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go
No more pain, hardship,
Or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.
You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.
I will always be with you,
However far you walk
I will always listen,
When you feel you need to talk
So when you are saddened
Or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge
That I am always there.
One day soon I will share with you
The happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end
Six feet beneath the ground
Forget about graveside visits
And fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers
Is surely not the way
When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.
