Book of Remembrance
In Memory of Ann Richardson 1955 - 2006
I met Annie 29 years ago at her 22nd birthday celebrationsin a Bloomsbury pub and 29 years later, just 50 yards away
from that pub in a side ward at the National Hospital, I held her
hand as she slowly slipped away from me.
A lot has happened in travelling those 50 yards.
No other person has enriched my life as much as Annie,
opening my eyes up to what can be achieved, teaching
me so
many things, criticising me when I deserved it
and adding value
to my life. We should strive to make
a difference by the time we
leave this earth and Annie
has certainly left it a much richer place
for a lot of
people and made that difference to those left behind.
She was fascinated by angels and now she can become
one and
look after us all until we meet
again. I shall miss her incredibly but
I thank you
Annie for allowing me into your life.
