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

If we could only speak to you,
And hold your loving hand,
No matter what we said or did,
We know you’d understand.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.

THANKS A MILLION!!!!
♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC
The last two weeks have been very difficult
for us as a family, it was Christopher’s
Birthday & Angel Anniversary within 2 days
of each other on the Monday My Father-in-Law celebrated his 81st Birthday sadly on the Tuesday he passed away. The day before what would have been Christopher’s 32nd Birthday
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each
and everyone of you that left messages, candles,
tributes, gifts & photographs on Christopher’s website I read every single one.
You are all truly kind, special, amazing, thoughtful and a wonderful bunch of people that have taken the time to make me feel better when you are all dealing with your own private grief.
Thanks again

I Love And Miss You Son
The golden gates stood open
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
I love you Son
I miss you Son
I think of you Son
You will always be with me.
Wherever I go,
Whatever I do
My day always
Starts and ends with you.
The hardest thing in life to bear,
Is to want your Son and he's not there.
Sorry Son that I still weep
For you I longed to love and keep.
FOR MONDAY
If I Could Travel Back In Time
If I could travel back in time
For maybe just one day,
To talk to you and laugh with you
Before you went away.
I wonder what you'd think of me
And all the things I've done;
If you'd see the child you knew
In the woman I've become.
The memories I have of you
Are fading now and few.
I walk familiar streets to tread
On pavements you walked too.
We never got to say goodbye
All those years ago,
I was too young to understand
You were too ill, and so...
If I could travel back in time
For maybe just one day,
I'd say these words, "I love you Dad"
Before you went away.
FOR TUESDAY

Dear All,
As this is going to be a difficult week for our family I am lighting the candles & tribute for this week today.
I want to make sure all your angels don’t miss out on the candles and tributes I hope you all understand
I will be back on Sunday with Monday’s candle
It would have been Christopher’s Birthday on Wednesday, he was on his way home from having a drink to celebrate his 27th Birthday when the accident happened and sadly he died 2 days later.
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥

Tribute For The Weekend
I'm sending a dove to heaven
With a parcel on its wings.
Be careful how you open it
It’s full of beautiful things
Inside are a million kisses
Wrapped up in a million hugs
To say how much you mean to us
And send you all our love
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Babies are angels
That fly to earth
Their wings disappear
At the time of there birth
One look in their eye
And we're never the same
They're part of us now
And that part has a name
That part is your heart
And a bond that won’t sever
Our babies are angels
And we love them forever
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
It happens without warning
Time and time again
I go along and join the flow
But still remember when
You were there to share it all
That made it all worth while
The memories keep flooding back
And once again I smile
Then reality returns to me
And once again your gone
If only this little dream I have
Could simply just go on
I try and hide the heartache
But I feel it none the less
These are my words I send to you
I MISS YOU……..
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Just the average family
We didn't ask for more.
Then life was changed completely
With that knock upon our door.
This awful thing had happened
And none of us knew why.
You were never coming back again
And we didn't say goodbye.
Our world just fell to pieces
We cried with disbelief.
We had to stick together
To overcome our grief.
We'll never understand it
It all seems so unfair.
We wish we'd hear that knock again
And see you standing there.

I'm just a little Angel
Sent from up above
To help guide you and protect you
And give you lots of love.
ჱܓ
On those days when you feel lonely
Kinda sad and blue
You'll feel my little Angel wings
Tenderly enfolding you.
ჱܓ
I'm just a little Angel
Come down from Heaven above
Who will always and forever
Give you my "Bestest" Angel Hugs.
ჱܓ
Lights of Love
Can you see our candles
Burning in the night?
Lights of love we send you
Rays of purest white
Children we remember
Though missing from our sight
In honour and remembrance
We light candles in the night
All across the big blue marble
Spinning out in space
Can you see the candles burning
From this human place?
Oh, angels gone before us
Who taught us perfect love
This night the world lights candles
That you may see them from above
Tonight the globe is lit by love
Of those who know great sorrow,
But as we remember our yesterdays
Let's light one candle for tomorrow
IF HEAVEN HAD A PHONE
I cannot dial your number,
I can't get through to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.
There is no code for heaven,
I cannot place the call,
No numbers left to call,
I reckon I've tried them all.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things I want to say.
To tell you that I love you,
And miss you every day,
How much I prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know you're okay,
I just want to speak to heaven,
Please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your loved one says they’re doing fine.

Love to you always & forever xxx
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
If I could wish upon a star
I would wish for you back here
I know you're happy where you are
But I miss you and want you near
Although I see you everyday
In my thoughts and in my dreams
I miss you more than words can say
It just gets worse, it seems
I try to be strong for others around
But all I want to do is cry
I just sit for hours by myself
And ask the question 'Why'?
It's the strongest pain I've ever felt
I don't think I could describe it
Although I try, I do my best
I don't think that I can hide it
My life will never be the same
That's why it's hard to bear
Because since the day you left us
I think that life's not fair
Some things seem not to matter now
Even things that mattered before
You have no idea what I would give
To make this pain less sore
People say we'll meet again
And yes I know that's true
But I wish it didn't have to be this way
Because you know how much I miss you
I love you with all my heart and soul
And there's one thing you need to know
There's not one person in the human race
That could ever take your place

♡ The Hearts Library..... ♡
By Sarah Blackstone.
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
Id put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.
I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.
If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!
I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.
Am building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you
