I would like to express my sincere thanks to my family and friends who have shown their support before and after Terry Rickards passing. Thank you for the cards, flowers and words of kindness I have received during this difficult time.
I have been overwhelmed by all the lovely comments written on Terry's personal FB page, the OOC and Racing pages. A massive thanks to those who were able to attend the funeral service, with special thanks going to Pete Nicholls for giving suc...h a heartfelt speech. Also my appreciation goes to the bearers Mark Allen, Jason Morris, Michael Harvey, Neal Rutter, Pete Nicholls and Cliff Davies.
I was touched to see so many British Rail friends at the service some of whom had travelled afar, they gave me words of comfort and shared stories most of which I hadn't heard before. Personally I think Terry was given the send off he truly deserved. He would have loved the stunning black horses, and the bespoke Flying Scotsman, although we all know he would have had something to say about the pennies spent. The Horseman got lost along the way, we had a tour of Cardiff, so at least Terry got his monies worth.
He will be so very missed by many, I for one will have such fond memories of our life together. He will have a place in my heart forever and always. He was certainly one in a million.
R.I.P TC love Olive. xx
ps Terry had nick names for us all! Hence Olive he called his wife Irene..........
