How sad ... x

I can't believe I've just watched your documentary on the TV. I'm in shock. When I saw the "In Loving Memory" part. I had to rewind it.
What a shame.
I hope you have found peace now and are catching up on all the years you missed with you Mum.
My heart goes out to Richard ... x

I just felt so very sad today watching the documentary, Richard.. you are a credit to your mum, Sonia.. you're gone now and I pray.. finally at peace.
No-one, other than someone who has walked in your shoes could ever even begin to comprehend the loss, the pain and the suffering that Monster Sutcliffe brought to all your lives.. it's almost beyond belief.
My thoughts and continued prayers are with you now and always. You are good people.

I have just finished watching the programme, in just one hour, I have connected with Sonia and Richard. Having lost a parent too I know how hard it is to cope with death. I pray that we all find strength to face life and all that it brings.Dorbibi

Rest Easy

watching the programme now,missed it 1st time round, have followed your story (lives) since i was at school, and i'm 43 now, i had just finished Richards book when i read about your passing in the paper, i sat and cried in the staff room, co workers didn't understand why, or how close i felt to you all, and still do. i'm sure you are with your mum now, because she loved you all, and is watching over your brother and sisters. i just wish i could have helped you all, and if your siblings need to talk, i'll always be here for them,
Rest Easy, love will always be there for you and yours, Dotty, xxxx

Let Your Demons Rest

I just watched the documentary, repeated tonight on Discovery Crime and Investigation. It was a haunting, moving film, sadly it was clear you were struggling.

You reminded me so much of my best friend, who sadly died a number of years ago.

Sometimes our demons take over as we struggle to understand. I hope you now know peace and wish your family the best. You were a brave woman, and I feel stronger than you realised.

I hope your family take comfort in knowing you touched my life tonight as you rest, with their love and our thoughts for everything good and peaceful.

Much love

i am an English woman living in Australia and was still in England when the terrible man whose name i wont say struck terror into the hearts of us all. Your story aired on TV this week over here and i was so moved by you both, Sonia and Richard. I admired the understated and matter of fact way that you have dealt with your pain and quest for knowledge about your Mum and the perpetrator of the terrible crimes he committed. I cannot tell you how sad I was when I realised at the end of the documentary that Sonia is no longer with us. My heart goes out to you all on your loss of Sonia and your Mum, you touched my heart with your grace and strength in dealing with your lives.
i hope you all find happiness and thank you for sharing your story with me.
