Royston Agutter
3rd February 2001
Aged 54
Royston left two children, two grandchildren and many many people who knew and loved him dearly. Especially my family.
Royston sadly passed away after finding out he had a brain tumour in February 2001. He meant everything to my family, he was my dads best man on his wedding day 37 years ago and remained best friends with my dad until the day he passed. He was like a dad to myself and my sisters Jennifer and Katherine. The night we found out Royston had died was like someone ripping a part of you out from the inside. None of us could come to terms with it. We still think of him every day. Six years have passed and Royston is missed as much today as he was the day he was taken from us. I know he is looking down on us seeing how much we cared and loved him. It was such a tragic loss to such an amazing person who I know no-body could say a bad word about. His funeral was held in a little village in Oxford, the church was packed with people coming to pay their last repects to a well loved person. RIP Royston - We all still love you and miss you. You will never be forgotton. I hope the angels are looking after you just as much as you looked after those around you. xxx
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

If there is anyone who can give me any advice to help me see Royston's death in a brighter light then please, get in touch. It will be much appreciated. Thank you x
Jen has had her baby. She had a little baby girl on Wednesday 16th January. She weighed 7lb 7 and they have called her Ella Catherine Warne. We are all so excited. It's weird because mum went to see a medium and my nan told the medium 'we are nitting in pink up here'. I hope you were watching over them both. Such a huge shame you couldnt be here to celebrate with us. You may not be here in person but we know you're here in spirit.
Lots and lots of love and missing you lots. Love Rachel xxx
I started my new job today! A secretary! Was sat at work and thought I would pop on here to see you.
I will be visiting you this weekend as its getting near to Christmas. I really, really wish you were still here. I used to love it when you came over for Christmas. Miss that so much.
Well as you can see Jen is blooming! Cant wait for her baby to arrive on January 23rd. Please look down on her and give her and her baby strength. Not that they'll need it but we will know you're there anyway.
See you this weekend, take care. I hope you're feeling better. I love you always, Rach xxxxxxxx
Mum went to a medium on Saturday and you came through. It had me and Kat in tears, we never knew you were so heartbroken. I know what she has done has affected you now and you have forgiven her but we will never forgive what she's done. Its heartbreaking to know that you know what we think of her, we cant help it. I know she is your wife but we cannot forgive. Yes I do hope she rots in hell, you said you hope she doesnt. I am glad you are looking down on us all. It also upset me when the medium said you were so heartbroken up there that you wouldnt get up, my nan was trying to lift your spirit but you were so upset you didnt want to budge. She said she could hear a man crying saying 'my wife, my wife' mum knew straight away it was you because you were devoted to Sheila. I never thought I would have to say that name again, but you loved her and I respect that. You also said 'dont think about this all too much, it will make you ill'. I know you were talking about me, you must know I havent slept properly and that I am scared and that I have you on my mind all the time. I think too much! I am so sorry I took your photo out of my room, Im scared and I shouldnt be. I love you so much. I just hope that when I go and see her, you will come through and talk to me. You also said that Sheila is going to through hell, I dont believe that for a second, sorry. She is not the person me, Kat and Jen grew up to love, that love has turned to pure hatred. I love you always xxx
If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane. I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before I knew it, and only god knows why! My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you no-one will ever know.
Roy
I understand the pain and hurt that you are feeling as I lost my mum 15 months ago. I had the great privilege to meet Roy who worked with my husband Robin at OUP. All I can say is that he is in a better place and will have no more suffering.
RIP Roy it was nice to meet you even if it was only for a short time
Hi Roy. Jen is pregnant with her first child! Your god daughter is having her own little baby. How exciting!
I am trying to smile when I write this but everytime I think about you gone my face saddens and my eyes sting with tears. I still cant believe it, I am so sorry I removed what she put on your grave but you know what we think of her. She doesnt deserve to place anything near you. I will come to visit on Saturday. Hopefully she has put my poem back on your grave. You meant everything to me and you still do and I still miss you so much every second of every day. There has not been one day go by in the whole six years when you havent crossed my mind. Love always, Rachel xxx
We were watching home video's at the weekend of you Royston, the ones when we were small and you were on the karaoke machine. Jen said she really misses and we all said we still cant believe you have gone. We always expect our holidays to include you, our birthdays to include you and at Christmas for you to be there on Christmas Day. Things are just not the same without you. I will come and visit you this weekend. Watching you on video is a huge comfort, we know you lived a happy life but we know you lived your last few days in pain but you never let on a thing. That was you all over, never one to complain. I am so sorry I never came to see you before you died in the hospital. Me, Jen and Kat were so scared of what we might see and we just expected you to be coming home. We were devastated when we recieved that dreaded call from your daughter Jane breaking the news that you had just died and that we were never going to see you again and I am so sorry. We will meet again but until then I will continue to love you, miss you and think of you every day until then. All my love Rachel xXx
If we could have one lifetime wish
A dream that would come true
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and you
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried
And neither can a million tears
We know because we've cried
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too
We never wanted memories though
We only wanted you!!
my lovely friend
royston my dear friend, words cannot describe how much i miss you i have so many lovely memories of you and photos.you have left an enormous gap in our lives that no other person will ever be able to fill.i always think of your wicked sense of humour.you always used to get jen in a head lock when you see her.i remember when we were on holiday in turkey and i am smiling because i think of this; we were all walking round the market in Turkey and one of the sellers shouted "cheap cheap, cheap cheap" and you commented on this to my Rachel by saying "sounds like a bloody budgie". Anyway mate will add more soon, love and miss you. Jill xxx
My best mate
Hi mate, I cant believe it's been six years that you left us all. It only seemed like yesterday that you were by my side as my best man on my wedding day 37 years ago. You were like a second father to my children. I miss those great holidays we spent together. I think of you often. All my love. B x
