Richard James Shepherd 1953-2011

A few days ago (June 17, 2012 perhaps) two members of the family visited the grave in Delhi and took this pic. of the cross on the grave. As noted here below this cemetery is fulled to capacity so now burials are taking place one over the other. Sunita had died six years earlier, almost to the date. The other two pictures of grave were taken at the time of Richard's funeral and the candles below were lit just after the burial when it had turned dark.

My brother,RICHARD JAMES SHEPHERD, was laid to rest late evening on Wednesday, Jan 5, 2011 at the Indian Christian Cemetery, Pahar Ganj, Old Delhi. Richard had liver cancer which was discovered in the last stages. He worked at Moets restaurant, Defence Colony market for about 20 years. Born on Oct 19, 1953, he was the fourth son of IVAN DOUGLAS SHEPHERD & TERESA ELLOISE SHEPHERD of Lucknow. He is survived by his four brothers.
The cemetery has no more burial space and has been thus for several years. Burials take place in graves that have to be dug up with permission of surviving relatives.
