richard you were taken so suddenley without any illness. you are a fantastic boy and a son i am very proud of. you are a very loyal friend and every one who knows you misses you,life just seems so cruel to take you when you were so young is not fair. we will never forget you,you would do anything for anyone and always found it hard when you wre asked to help others out,you put every one 1st.you were a typical 17 year old liked a few beers,loved the girls and would do anything for a laugh. i was always saying to you be careful, your reply was always the same "stop worring mum il be ok". you were always saying give us a fag mum ,well i would love to give you a fag now maybe even 20. my heart aches so bad dont know how to stop it,i love you so much and always will,i can not believe that 11months have passed already. but my son just remember we are not angery with you we just wished you were still here. sleep tight my angle god bless till we are toghether again. love you lots your heart broken mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
