Former EastEnders actress Wendy Richard (born Wendy Emerton) has died aged 65, her agent has
confirmed.

The star, who played Pauline Fowler in the BBC One soap opera, had been suffering from cancer.

Her agent Kevin Francis said: "She was incredibly brave and retained her sense of humour right to
the end."

Last October, Richard revealed she had an aggressive, terminal form of cancer. Soon after that she
married her long-term partner John Burns.

In 2000 Richard was awarded the MBE for services to television and in 2007 she was given a British
Soap Award for Lifetime Achievement for her role in EastEnders.

Richard also appeared in two Carry On films, playing a cameo role in Carry On Matron and a
supporting part in Carry On Girls (which also featured future EastEnders co-star, Barbara Windsor).
In 1962, her distinct cockney vocals also helped get her to #1 on the UK singles chart on the single
"Come Outside" by Mike Sarne.

In 2007, Richard was awarded a British Soap Award for 'Lifetime Achievement' for her role in
Eastenders.

As well as her 21 years on Albert Square, Richard starred in sitcoms Are You Being Served?, Dad's
Army and Grace and Favour.

She joined EastEnders when the programme began in 1985 and remained in it until 2006, when her
character died.

`•. Dear Angel........

If we could only speak to you,
And hold your loving hand,
No matter what we said or did,
We know you'd understand.

Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane we so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our lives to share,
But in our hearts you're always there.

Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

All Our Love Now And Always

~♥~♥~♥~LOVE LIVES ON~♥~♥~♥~

Those we love
are never really lost to us -
we feel them
in so many special ways-
through friends
they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

What a wonderful lady

You were such a wonderful lady, so dignified in your attitude especially while you fought your cancer. I admire your humour and unpretentious manner. Bless you, sleep happily, dear Wendy

Forever Young
May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young ,Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
For, Forever Young, Forever Young
