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 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.

ribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit Again
As Usual On Sunday For Monday


MESSAGE FOR MY FAMILY FROM HEAVEN


To My Dearest Family,
Some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
That I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
Every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you
When my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again,
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on.

There's so much that we have to do,
To help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things,
That he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list,
Was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
The day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....
In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
And all those loving years.

Because you are only human,
They are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
It does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers,
Unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
All that God has planned.

If I were to tell you,
You wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads
Ahead of you and many hills to climb;

But together we can do it
By taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it for you too;

That as you give unto the world,
The world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
Who's in sorrow and pain;

Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....
That my life was worthwhile.

Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
Who is sad and feeling low;

Just lend a hand to pick him up,
As on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
And you've got Me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....
From that body to be free.

Remember you're not going.....
You're coming here to Me.


MISS ME..... BUT LET ME GO

We've known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain,,
We've lived in the sunshine,
And walked in the rain. ,

But now we're separated .
And for a time apart,,
But I am not alone- ,
You're forever in my heart.,

Death always seems so sudden, ,
And it is always sure,,
But what is often forgotten-,
It is not without a cure.,

There may be times you miss me, ,
I sort of hope you do,,
But smile when you think of me,,
For I'll be waiting here for you.

Now there's many things for you to do,,
And lots of ways to grow,,
So get busy, be happy, and live your life,,
Miss me, but let me go.


MY FRIEND I CARE

Don’t tell me that you understand.
Don’t tell me that you know.
Don’t tell me that I will survive,
How I will surely grow.

Don’t come at me with answers
That can only come from me.
Don’t tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free.

Accept me in my ups and downs.
I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand and let me cry
And say, “My friend, I care"

GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART......

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

✿*.*。✿ I NEEDED SOMEONE SPECIAL..........✿*.* 。✿


I asked that they'd be Godly,
With wisdom of His ways.
A friend to help and guide me
I the troubles of these days.

So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge,
But encourage us as we walk.

The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble.
But to have a friend to catch our fall,
Teaches us to be humble.

When I asked the Lord to send a friend,
Though many came and went.
He gave much more than I ever asked,
For you are the friend He sent me.


WITH LOVE AND THANKS FOR BEING THERE, JUDE. X X

Message from Heaven

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
And all of your cares
I'll even remind you
To please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
To stay in his grace

I came here before you
To help set your place
You don't have to be
Perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue to climb

To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
In the heaven’s above

Please take care of each other
I send you my love

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

"Angel"

Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.

Memories and little prayers,
We all are mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
We will never forget you.

I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.

You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
We love you so, I love you so,
But now we say goodbye.

Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.

It was your time, so as we cry,
Go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
You made everybody smile.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

“The Best”

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.

It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.

When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The moment that you died
Our hearts were torn in two,
One side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

We often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.

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.

We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

They are not dead,
Who leave us this great heritage of remembering joy.

They still live in our hearts,
In the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.

They still breathe,
In the lingering fragrance,windblown, from their favourite flowers.

They still smile in the moonlight’s silver,
And laugh in the sunlight’s sparking gold.

They still speak in the echoes of the words we’ve heard them say again and again.

They still move,
In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches.

They are not dead;
Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.

They are not apart from us, but part of us,

For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity.
