Richard was born and raised in Keighley,he has a younger sister Charlene.He was educated at
Calversyke School,then Oakbank School,He played a big part at Calversyke,at 10yr old he gained his
Bronze B in science and technology,at the end of his yrs there he was in a big production of the
play "Best Days Of Our Lives"which was superb..he had a great sense of humour and would make every
body laugh...never a dull moment around Richard.
At 17 yrs old, In May 2001 he became a Daddy to a little girl KATIE LEIGH,he doted on her so much,in
the August of 2001 his relationship broke down with Katies mum,things became too much for Richard,he
could not face life without katie and the fact there could be another man playin daddy to her was
just too much for him to handle.
In August 2001 when Katie was only 3 months old Richard took his own life.
It devastated the whole family and his many many friends.
He was from a very loving close family,Richard being 1 of the eldest of his cousins.
He is greatly missed by all who new him..
The day he died changed all our lives forever.
Never a day goes by that we dont think of him,his final resting place is at Oakworth Cemetry on the
top of the hill,we chose there so he can look down over us all.
May he rest in peace.
Loving and missing you always Rick,
Your forever in our hearts XXXXXXXXXXXX
Every flower that opens
Every bird that sings
Every ray of sunshine
Every snow flake from the sky
All the things around us
We notice everyday
All the worlds beauty
Is you just calling to say
I am here with you
Every single day.

A SPECIAL CANDLE JUST FOR
My broken heart..
Will never mend
So lots of kisses..
I shall send
We think of you..
In a better place
With beautiful wings..
And a smile on your face
Every day is a struggle you see
Trying to cope..
So please help me
How do I cope?
I do not know
My heart is broken..
So that goes to show
I can't except you are gone
I need you here..
Please keep me strong
Stay by my side..
Show me the way
Help me to cope every day
I love and miss you so much..
And I always will
Since you have been gone..
Time has stood still
I think of you in heaven..
With Gods Angels up above
Please my precious Angel..
Watch over me with love
Those we love dont go away
They walk beside us every day
not seen not heard but always near
still loved still missed still very dear
Remember Me
Remember me when roses bloom
And Spring returns again ---
For I am ever present in your midst
In the dawn and in the wind ---
You mustn't think I've gone away
For good - Instead remember me
The way I was in better days
The way it used to be ----
Remember me as I am now
Alive, at peace, and free ---
There is no place for sorrows past
Is just a lost memory ----
For life derives its' purest joy
In living day to day ---
Follow what I've taught you
And REMEMBER ME, this way .....
~~~~Dorothy Womack~~~~
We Love You Always ۞
We didn't know what Heartache meant
Until the day you were took away
All the tears we've cried
The hurt is here to stay
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
We cry for the loss
Of someone so special as you
In life you were so special
In death your so missed too
۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞۞
Even though your gone
In our Heart you will remain
In spirit you're still with us
But our lives are not the same

Many moments... many tears...
Many thoughts won't disappear
Many memories bittersweet
Many years left incomplete
Many days spent in denial
Many wishes for your smile
Many hopes and dreams are gone
Many days are spent withdrawn
Many years have passed me by
Many times I still ask why
Many people think I'm fine
Many times I've begged for signs
Many sleepless nights are spent
Many hours with torment
Many moments... many tears
Many more in future years
Dear lord before i sleep tonight,
I need a few answers please,
Ive asked so many times before,
But this time im begging on my knees.
Why did you take my loved ones away,
I just need to understand,
Are they all happy up there,
Walking in your land.
Do they know who i am,
And can they still see me,
Is there really life after death,
And are they flying free.
Lord alls i want is just one hug,
just one last little kiss,
To let them know that i still care,
Dear lord thats all i wish.
Well again i have no answers,
But i will try again tomorrow,
One day you must answer me lord,
And take away my sorrow.
But for now my lord,
I lay down to sleep,
Close my eyes,
And try not to weep

~~~~~~ Thank You My Friend ~~~~~~~
I would like to thank you very much
for everything you do.
My friend your inspiration
has helped to pull me through
All the comfort you bestow
helps when I'm feeling low
And without people like you
I would never have got through.
I know that you can't put things right
but you have helped me my depression fight.
So never under estimate the power of a friendly word
not to money or riches can friendship be compared.
There's nothing in life that can compare
to a caring friend who is always there.
So thank you my friend for all you do
and always remember I'll be here for you.

Night time comes with just more sorrow,
I hope its a brighter day tomorrow,
I lay here crying at night,
Afraid to turn out my light.
Watching from my window,
As strangers watch my tears flow,
They dont know what i eel inside,
They dont know that my loved one died.
If they did would they stop awhile,
And just try to make my frown a smile,
Or would they simply walk on by,
As if they never seen me cry.
Alls i need is just a friend,
Someone who i can depend,
Who when i cry wont run away,
But stick by me from day to day.

PRECIOUS SON.I have a precious Son
who means the world to me,
He's living with the Angels
And is as special as can be.
And even though he's up there
High up in the clouds,
He's still my precious Son
And I am still so very proud.
His picture Still takes pride of place
Upon my living room wall,
Ready to be admired
By all who come to call.
I know I can not see him
Or hold him close to me,
But I only have to close my eyes
And he's here right next to me
I never will stop missing him
And wishing he were here
But sometimes I feel
Indeed I know that he is very near
So be happy my precious Son
you will never be forgot
I love you so, And always will
Though I miss you such a lot
We know how much you loved us
As much as we loved you,
And each time that we think of you
We know your missing us too.

Look for me in springtime
As raindrops fill the air
In the splendour of the rainbow
You’ll find my presence there.
You will find me in the fragrance
Of April’s sweet perfume
Drifting through the clover
On a sultry day in June.
An August day will find me
Upon the summer breeze
On the distant sound of the thunder
In the gently swaying trees.
In the golden fields of harvest
Is where I can be found
As autumn time approaches
And leaves comes tumbling down.
In the wintertime when days are short
And chill is in the air
Just look into a moonlit night
You’ll find me lingering there.
When the setting sun has gone away
And shadows fill the night
When the cloak of darkness lifts its veil
I’ll be your morning light.
So when you feel discouraged
And at night to God you pray
You’ll feel me there beside you
I’m just a breath away.
