Richard Kirkland,
Passed away suddenly of heart attack on 14/10/06
Aged 36 years.
Rich leaves behind a wife and 3 beautifull children, Tom aged 11, Will aged 9 and Daisy aged 3. We
were a happy, loving family, Rich was a devoted husband and dad. He was a much loved son, brother
and uncle. He is missed so much by us all.
TO MY RICH,
WE BOTH KNEW THAT WHEN WE MET,
THE TWO OF US WERE ONE,
BUT NO-ONE TOLD ME WHAT TO DO,
WHEN HALF OF ONE IS GONE,
WHAT TO DO WITH HALF A HEART,
OR HALF A WILL TO CARE,
WHAT TO DO WITH HALF A LIFE,
WHEN THE OTHER HALFS NOT THERE.
YOU WERE THE OTHER HALF OF ME,
A HEART LINKED WITH MY OWN,
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH HALF OF ME,
NOW THAT IM ALONE?
I CLOSE MY EYES AND SEE YOU,
I SEE YOU JUST THE SAME,
THE WAY YOU WALKED,
THE WAY YOU TALKED,
THE WAY YOU SAID MY NAME.
SILENTLY TEARS FALL GENTLY,
WHICH OTHERS DO NOT SEE,
FOR MY WONDERFULL, LOVING HUSBAND
WHO MEANT THE WORLD TO ME.
LOVE YOU FOREVER RICH.

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU,
NO MATTER HOW MANY YEARS.
WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH DAD.

my valentine
we never made too much of a big deal on valentines day, just a nice card and a little present for each other, and we would just have a nice meal and a drink at home, nothing fancy, but it was perfect. we never got each other soppy cards, they were usually funny ones!
its just another one of those days, that im reminded every minute that your not here any more, and how much i miss you. Happy Valentines day duck, love ya x x

TO OUR DAD
Our Dad paints us rainbows,
The sunshine is his smile,
He sits upon white fluffy clouds,
To watch us all the while.
Raindrops on our noses,
He sends to show he cares,
And that he'll always love us,
And forever he'll be there.
He visits us most every night,
To kiss us in our dreams,
He gently holds us in our sleep,
And then, how close he seems.
Thats how we know he's never gone,
And there's no need to cry,
For while he lives on in our hearts,
He will never ever die.
We love you Dad x x x x x x x x x
Thinkin of u & your family
It sounds like the world has lost a wonderful person, yes U 'Richard'. Keep watch over your family always. Its clear that your wife Annie and children love u dearly and that they will neva forget you. They hold on to the good times even though it doesn't make it any easier. God bless.
How do we say “goodbye”
to the ones we love the most.
When in our heart of hearts we know,
we need and want them close.
Now close your eyes real tightly,
let your feelings overflow.
They never really left you,
your memories never go.
hiya rich, i finally did it, i passed my driving test on friday!!! cant believe i have done it, i never needed to when you were here, you took me everywhere i wanted to go. I knew i had to do it, for the kids, cus they really miss being able to just get in the car and go places. Me and you would just take them to the sea side when the weather was nice, and we have all really missed that. Our trips will never be the same, cus your not there, but at least we have some freedom now.
Keep us safe
Love you forever x x x x x x x
the new year
it seems so weird that we are now in 2008, because you never saw any of 2007, you never saw all the new shops and houses that were built through the year, and iv spent a whole year without talking to you face to face. It seems so unreal. Paul and Sam have had their little baby girl, lacey in december, your mate simon has had a baby girl, our friend heidi is pregnant.... the list goes on and on of important things you have missed. As always, i wish you were here with us. I love you x x x x
christmas
Hi Rich, woke up this morning and the first thing i thought about was you, you are missed so much today, you always made christmas so special. Remember the year you bought me a car!, i had no idea! you always tried to suprise us and make it special. The magic has gone now, but i will always try to make it nice for the kids, cus i know thats what you would want. I love you so much, and i always will. Thinking of you today, and forever x x x x x x
Another christmas is here Richard since you were taken away from your family.We all know how much you loved xmas and that only makes it even more sad that you're not here to join in the celebrations. Watch over all your family but especially AnneMarie, Tom, Will and Daisy at this time when they miss you even more than ever. Happy Christmas Richard xxxx

daisy's first day at ballet
yesterday me and my mum took daisy to her first ballet lesson. As i watched her run in, with her little pink ballet uniform and hair in a ponytail, my heart sank cus i just desperately wanted you there. She looked so cute and so small. Im sure you were there by her side, but i wanted to see your face, you always used to say you couldn't believe how cute she was! All the kids are looking forward to christmas and we will all make the best of it, i know thats what you would want, you were like a kid yourself at christmas, but it won't be easy. I think of you every day, and it doesnt get any easier knowing im not going to see you again. We all love you so much x x x x
