Dearest Richard,
Our thoughts are with you today, although not just this day, but for your peaceful journey to heaven. We all hope that you can find serenity in whatever you do, for example watching quality football on amazing TV-screens, in the most comfortable football environment, whilst sharing the most delicious football snacks and beverages that you have ever experienced. And whilst doing this, you are not lonely, on the contrary, you get to feel love from all around you, together with all our near and dear who left us too early, but are all watching over us.
Tonight we will light a candle for you, raise a glass and express gratitude for being able to get to know you.
I will giggle at the fact that you were equally as frightened as me, if not more, when we went to the haunted house at Grönalund, summer 1998 (it was the first time I got to meet you after Annika brought you to meet her loving family here in Sweden). If it wasn’t for Annika, I think we would have frozen of fear. I will cherish the canoe trip which Annika, you and I attempted on the small river next to Djurgården (note to us all, one needs to paddle on both sides of the canoe if one wants the canoe to travel straight), and I will always feel gratitude towards your generosity together with Annika during my visits to London.
You have left a hole in all of our hearts, but you have given us all so much more over the years!
Take care cousin and friend.
Love,
Peggy and Richard
