3rd Anniversary of Richard Scott

Precious memories of a dearly loved Son, Brother and Uncle, Richard taken too soon on the 19th August 2020.

They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Can change the way we feel
For no one knows the heartache
That lies behind our smiles
No one knows how many times
We have broken down and cried
We want to tell you something
So there won’t be any doubt
You’re so wonderful to think of
But so hard to be without.

Forever remembered by Mum,
Cherith & David, Jordan & Zara, Tyler, Kai, Grayson, Colby
