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.
ANNIE xxx
TO OUR DAD.
THERE IS A BRIGHT STAR FROM HEAVEN,
IT COMES OUT LATE AT NIGHT,
WE KNOW THAT IT IS YOU DAD,
THAT YOU'VE COME TO SAY GOODNIGHT,
AS LONG AS OUR HEARTS ARE BEATING,
AS LONG AS OUR EYES SHED TEARS,
WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU,
NO MATTER HOW MANY YEARS.
WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH DAD.
LOVE TOM, WILL AND DAISY X X X X
you dont know what you got til its gone
That saying is so true, Richard. When you were taken from us you left such a big hole in all our lives that things will never be the same again. Our family feels so lost without you and we all miss you so much.
I'm so glad I had all those years of knowing you and that we had all become so close. A family in the true sense of the word- something we are all so proud of being a part of- something that is so important to you , Andrew and your dad.
I look back so happily on the many great times we all shared; Regret deeply the times we could've shared but didn't; And feel so angry that our future is without you.
I know you will always be with us, not only watching over us but in our hearts and minds, and we will take you with us wherever we go.
God Bless You Richard,
See you on the other side, Rachxxx
P.S give jess a fuss for me(hair free hopefully!!)
A great friend
We have many thoughts of you rich. The one that always makes us smile, was your attempt at horse riding. We have the pleasure of watching it on video and one day will share this with your loving wife. The title of this web site says it all. God bless you mate. Say hi to my bro, until we all meet again. xx
for all who loved richard
do not stand by my grave and weep
i am not there, i do not sleep,
i am a thousand winds that blow,
i am the diamond glints on snow
i am the sunlight on ripened grain,
i am the gentle autumn rain
when you awaken in the mornings hush,
i am the swift upliftling rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
i am the soft stars that shine at night
do not stand by my grave and cry
i am not there, i did not die
Im sorry its not something ive written myself, but this is such a heart warming, poem, i couldn't write anything so beautiful. i hope it helps to comfort you anne marie, and all your family. my thoughts (and lynny's) are always with you
take care, lots of love sarahxxxxxxxxx
