The Love of My Life/ My Husband/My Best Friend is now with the angels.

At times like this you realise how supportive and important friends and family are.

I have been overwhelmed by the amazing cards,messages and cards I've received from all around the world. Richie definitely touched many people

I want the best 'send off' I can give him.
I want us all to be together to share memories and stories about such an incredible man's life.

Unfortunately a good 'send off' is beyond my financial reach. I am well and truly in the mire!!

I need a favour - if you were planning on sending flowers or making a charity donation, could you instead donate to the costs involved in financing the funeral and send off

I realise that this is rather unorthodox... But hey ho...when have Richie or myself ever been orthodox???

Thank you all in advance for any help, however small it might seem to you. I want this fantastic man to have a fantastic send off

Funeral is all booked

THURSDAY 12th OCTOBER at 2.30

Service will be held at

Lichfield and District Crematorium
Fradley Lane
Fradley

And afterward for light refreshments at

Richie wanted everyone to celebrate his life and wear bright colours, (but not compulsory if you don't feel comfortable doing that)

Could you please let me know if you're coming to the funeral

Thanks in advance and hopefully see you on Thursday
