We were so sad to hear that Richard had passed away. We were talking last night about times that we all spent together, what wonderful friends your were and how Richard proudly showed us around London. I think that having his funeral in London is really fitting. We are sorry that we can't be there. When we next together we shall raise a toast to Richard, a kind, sweet, all round good bloke who will be sadly missed.

It is so hard to know what to say as I can only imagine what you and the girls must be feeling. I imagine that it must feel very odd and empty. Richard fought so valiantly for so long, I hope his death was kind and peaceful.

I also hope that you are all hanging in there OK, you have really had quite a time over the past few years. Please try to be good to yourself,

Love to you all,

Allison & John
