Richard ARNOLD Memoriam
ARNOLD, Richard Peter. - Tragically killed 16 years ago, aged 11 years.
''Remember me, as the mist of the morning gives way to sunlight,
Remember me, as the rainbow after a storm,
Remember me, as the waves upon a beach,
Remember me, as the soft wind in the forest pines,
Remember me, in the tinkle of Christmas bells,
Remember me, with a twinkle in my eyes, laughter in my heart, and joy in life's adventures - always!
Remember me, as Autumn winds and leaves rustling on the ground,
Remember me, as truth and purity of thought,
Remember me, as quiet solitude,
Remember me, for the love I shared with those I knew,
Remember me, and be glad we shared memories together,
Remember me, in your heart, in your mind, in your soul.
I am everywhere, yet nowhere,
My soul and my spirit live on, cherished and enriched by those who have known me,
Remember me, and, in that memory, I live forever.''
''Richard, you will live within us forever, there were so many moments with you, just not enough years.
''Remembered always,
Forever loved.''
(Mum, Dad, Kathryn, James, Yvonne and Grandma Turner).
