Dad always liked to dismiss Christmas but secretly we all knew he enjoyed it. Always there. Always involved in the day itself from carrying a bin bag collecting all the wrapping paper to washing the pots. Happy Christmas Dad x

Josephine and Tony are greatly missed by all the family and never forgotten. With love from Jack and Mary and all the family.

Remembering a very special mum and dad in our hearts you will always stay and we think of you everyday. Christmas is a special time of year for families and you will be with us all this Christmas as your light shines on the Christmas tree. We shall put our Christmas tree up and put your special lights on and your grandchildren will do the same. As we decorate the tree we shall tell your great grandchildren how special you were and tell them stories of the happy Christmases we spent with you. As silent night plays I will shed a tear as I remember how you both peacefully left us and the light turned out, now I see your lights shinning on the Christmas tree and I look at them with a smile. Loved yesterday, today and tomorrow forever in our hearts. Julie, Daryll, Sean, Michelle and Mark xxxxx

Always remembered xxx

She was one to remember for Christmas dinner’s and did the best one! Would alway’s stand talking to somebody for ages to make sure they were okay. Will be forever missed. x

Mum loved Lincoln Cathedral at night, especially at Christmas when it was surrounded by Christmas trees. To know that she is being remembered by having a light dedicated to her this Christmas makes it very special.

I am paying tribute to Em's almost 55 years of devotion to her children and me, whatever the circumstances, wherever we were. Tim Beath.

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

Thank you to the fabulous hospice team for their care and support in my dad’s final weeks. Christmas is about love and you all show so much of the true meaning of Christmas.

Always remembered

My darling Dor 6 years on & Christmas is not quite the same without you . I miss you more at this time of the year.

You used to make our Christmases very special, for me and the girls.

Till we meet again….your always in my heart ????
