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
This Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles will be lit as usual on Sunday for Monday

An angel in the book of life
Wrote down our baby’s birth
She whispered as she closed the book
"Too beautiful for earth."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet loved one, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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 is doing fine.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough
And the hills are hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, “Peace be thine”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

★◦˚◦ ☆ ◦˚◦ ★
A last goodbye,
A kiss to the wind,
No one knows,
The pain I am in.
★◦˚◦ ☆ ◦˚◦ ★
I ache to hold you,
To kiss your face,
And now you are gone,
Without a trace.
★◦˚◦ ☆ ◦˚◦ ★
But memories I hold,
Deep in my heart,
My love remains strong,
We shall never be apart.

Fly with the angels,
And feel no more pain,
I will love you each moment,
Till we meet once again.

Keep My Memory
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts

Though I may never meet you
And our paths may never cross
I know that what we have
Shall never ever be lost
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
So once again I say to you
And hear the words I write
You're in my thoughts and prayers
Each day and every night
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Thank you for all you have done
you didn’t have to do it
I’m glad someone like you
could help me get through it
Thank you for your support
Love Always Brenda xxxxx

LITTLE ANGELS
When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realise God loves children
Angels are hard to find.
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord Please pick one for me.
Place it in my Loved ones hand
And tell them it's from me.
Tell them that I love them
And when they turn to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheek
And hold them for a while.
Remembering them is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.

✿ 17TH JANUARY 2009 ✿
GOOD MORNING.........
✿ Cherished Friends. ✿
God must have know there would be times we'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share the joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate the happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true,
And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like you!!✿

CHER (ROBERT N PAULINE MCGREGORS AUGHTER)
THINKING OF YOU EVERY DAY X
often lie awake at night,
when others are asleep.
I take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
No one knows the heartache,
I try so hard to hide.
Some people say as time goes by,
the heartache will subside.
But the feelings in my heart today,
are the same as the day you died.
It broke my heart to lose you,
your parting caused such pain.
But the greatest day has yet to come,
when we will meet again.
ALL MY LOVE FROM CHER X

Hello From Heaven
◕⊱✣⊰◕
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
Until that day does happen
Feel the love I send your way
Every single moment
Of every single day...
◕⊱✣⊰◕

Along life’s road are SMILESTONES
They light the way folk go
Who put one there to light my way
Only MY ANGEL could know.
When I see it shining,
Life’s load seems easier to bear
I thank God for the SMILESTONE
MY ANGEL placed it there

Love always to you and your angel ~Brenda xxxxx
