What is death?
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next door room.
I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Waldek, Sydney
Laugh as we always laughed as the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without affect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should i be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.
(Henry Scott Holland 1847-1918 Canon of St Paul's Cathedral)
Richard, you always stood out from the crowd by your cheerful,
vivacious character and your big heart. Those of us who got to know you are very lucky for having crossed paths with you.
Right now the sorrow fills my heart. You will be missed for all the jokes you told and for all those beautiful moments that you made us live with you.
May your soul rest in peace. We will remember you with great joy, although you should have never left.

Rysiu, we will meet again sometime and continue to develop our friendship with one another, until then my dear friend, Love and Light. Waldek from Sydney Australia
Let us love people now they leave us so fast, The shoes remain empty and the phone rings on...
Śpieszmy się kochać ludzi tak szybko odchodzą, zostaną po nich buty i telefon głuchy...
(ks.Jan Twardowski)
