Dearest Helena, Simon, Jakey and Hanna, 

I cannot imagine how you all are right now, your wonderful Richard was truly ‘the best of men’ and we will all miss him more than we can ever say… Who knew that back in 88, when I was told an engineer was coming to spend the day with me to ‘learn’ about sales, it would be the start of a lovely friendship that has lasted so long and seen us go from Maidenhead, to Veghel, to Moscow, the states and back again..  Of course there is so much of Richard in all 3 of your amazing children and Felix is a chip off the old block, so we won’t lose the dry sense of humour and fun that was such an integral part of Richard. I treasure our memories and hope that is keeping you all going right now too. With love to you all. Kay
