Richard Williams
(1969 - 2010)
Also known as: Richie.
In Loving Memory of my Dearest Darling Husband Richard.
An Honourable Officer of the Royal Engineers. A great man, a true gentleman and my hero. A wonderful husband and a fine upstanding person. You gave so much to so many people.
You are the light of my life, the air I breathe, my soul mate and my everything.
Our love and devotion to one another shall continue forever more.
I am so proud of you and so very very privileged to be your wife and to have you as my dearest Husband.
The world has lost someone so very very wonderful, the day you went away.
I miss you terribly and now wait until God decides to re-unite us back together again.
Until then, sweet dreams, sleep tight and God Bless you, my Richard.
All my love for always and forever.
Your devoted wife
Karen

To My Dearest Darling Husband Richard,
Richie, you are a great man that is sorely missed, I will always owe you and Karen a great debt for all the help and support you both gave me in my darkest times. I wish I could have had the opportunity to repay even one hundredth of what you have given me. I wish I had know earlier so that I could have been able to say good bye in person and offer whatever support I could have to Karen.

on the 11 March 2012, your 43rd Birthday.
The 11 March 2012 is your special day as
the 11 March 2012 marks your birthday.
The day you came into this world.
To grow into a fine upstanding man and to search and eventually, find ME.
You longed so much, to find someone to give all of your love and devotion too and I am so very proud and priviledged that, that lady is ME.
We give each other our ultimate true love and this grew into our greatest gift, our true ... [read more from Karen Williams]

The day that we were married
was the best day of my life

and proud to be your Wife

How fortunate I am to have a Husband just like you

The gift I treasure most of all is the love you give to me.

Karen Williams writes [24th December 2011]:
We share a secret, you and I, that no one else shall know,
for only I can see your face at night in candle glow,
and as I walk the busy streets alone at Christmas time,
just now and then, I swear I fell your hand slip into mine,
for although we're not together in the way we used to be,
we're connected by a thread of love that no one else can see,
Because you are my life and in my dreams, I feel your touch,
For nothing loved is ever lost and I loved you Oh, ... [read more from Karen Williams]

Thinking of You at Christmastime
Now that Christmastime is here
There are so many thoughts of you,
Of how you were so thoughtful
And so kind and loving too.

Now that you aren't here to share

That surrounds us everywhere
Nothing ever could compare

A year has passed since you were taken from us on 21st July 2010. We miss you so much and love you dearly. You were an inspiration to us, a wonderful brother-in-law and a very very dear friend. We miss our chats, we miss our get togethers and we so miss hearing that cheeky laugh of yours.
You were a kind, thoughtful, generous, proud and intelligent man who we always looked up to.

I still cannot really believe you're gone. It seems like it was just yesterday when we were laughing and joking. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think of you. I know you are up there somewhere looking down on us all. I miss you so very much Uncle Richard.
I love you lots and lots and you will forever be in my heart,
Love

The 21 July 2011, marks the 1st Anniversary of your passing. The day you had to leave us, to sleep with the angels and sleep under God’s guideness and protection.
The whole world lost such an incredible person and I lost a remarkable man the day you had to leave us.

We little knew that morning
That God was going to call your name

You left us peaceful ... [read more from Joan And Peter Peachman]
