My husband was the loveliest man, a caring dad taken 3 years ago. We loved him so much & miss him terribly.
St Barnabas hospice (Nettleham Road) looked after him in his last days. X
I lost Ken 8 years and he is still in my heart
Grandad,
You are so very missed.
Our lives are not the same.
We will forever cherish memories of you.
Until we meet again.
All our love forever.
Always remembered
The missing parts of my family will always be in my heart and with me wherever I go.
Miss you mum. Everytime I walk along the prom, I remember us having ice-cream and strawberry sauce. Xxx
Emelia was our lovely granddaughter who we miss each day, she bought light to our lives. Sleep well xx
Thinking of my Mum and Dad at Christmas and everyday. They were amazing parents x
Remembering all the loving, happy Christmases we shared over the years. We miss you all the time Dad but especially at Christmas xxx
We are remembering my Grandad. An amazing trombone player in his day as well as a terrifically talented joiner. My Grandad was like a built in best friend. So funny, his smile and laugh just lit up the entire room. And I would always feel safe and secure whenever he was near, he just had a calming presence. He always reassured you that you would be fine and give you a big squeeze and you would instantly feel better. My grandad was so determined, this showed when he had a stroke when I was younger and he had to learn how to read, write and speak again and he did. He passed away two years ago now from falling on a rainy day and after all he had achieved recovering from those traumas, it left such a hole in our lives for him to be suddenly taken when he was so healthy. Our lives are definitely different without him as he was such a light and a joy. Everyone who met him says the same, he was just a force of nature. The best husband, father and grandad in the world.
We are also remembering my Granny (Grandad’s wife) unfortunately she passed when I was a baby so I didn’t get much time with her, which really upsets me but when I hear all the wonderful and also funny stories about her I truly feel like I know her so well. She was so kind, so creative, also a force of nature. She was very determined, she ran a restaurant whilst taking care of her family and just had so many feathers to her cap! She had an eye for detail. I wish I could have spent years on end with her, going around antique shops which she so dearly loved. She was a treasured wife, mother and Granny.
We are also remembering my Auntie Bridget. When my granny passed away Auntie Bridget sort of took on the role of Granny duties. And to this day , I can say she truly shaped who I am. She was so kind, so delicate, always fair. Auntie Bridget loved church and keeping her rosary beads close to her (which is something I like to do now because of her), everything in her home was perfect and beautiful. Some of the best memories of my childhood are school holidays at my Auntie Bridget’s. And walking through her front door and getting a whiff of her homemade chicken soup that she was cooking. Everyone who knew her, held a special place in their hearts for Auntie Bridget and that’s a fact. We miss her everyday.
And finally we are remembering my Granny Flynn (Auntie Bridget’s sister and my Mums Granny) she too passed when I was baby so I don’t have any memories with her and I so wish I did because of the stories I hear she was such a kind and wonderful person to know. I have one picture of her holding me when I was just born, I’m asleep in her lap and she is looking down at me just like an angel and she is so very gently holding my tiny hand with the tips of her fingers, the picture is so beautiful and special because although I never knew her that picture shows how much she loved me and how many memories we would have made together , the memories would have been wonderful. My mum describes her as so elegant and very much “a lady” and she was a huge part of my mum’s growing up, almost everyday they would see her, she was like a “second mum”. It just shows how treasured she was.
We spent many Christmases with dad lots of laughing, food and drink great memories.
This is our first Christmas without him
Happy Christmas dad, we miss you
Love Sharon, Fraser, Gary, Leigh and Amy xx
Always talked about always loved so so missed
Our first Christmas without you mum, my heart is broken, miss you so mum. ♥️ xx
Shining a light on your life and precious memories of you this Christmas. Xx
THINKING OF YOU BOTH THIS CHRISTMAS TIME AND EVERY OTHER DAY WHEREVER YOU BOTH MAY BE LOVE ALWAY
FROM ALL THE FAMILY XXXXXX
My mum volunteered at St Barnabas and was a nurse for 45 years. She sadly lost her battle with Motor Neurone Disease, this September, after only a few months since diagnosis. She is now at peace and back with her parents, my grandparents xx
A wonderful, kind, warm person with a mischievous sense of fun. You will be missed by so many.
Much missed mate RIP
Dad, I miss you so much. I can’t believe you won’t be here with me this Christmas. My first Christmas in 30 years and you won’t be here. I don’t quite know how I’m going to cope to be honest. My love for you grows stronger each & every day. I hope you are proud of me. Reggie speaks about you every single day. We love and miss you more than you’ll ever know. Merry Christmas to the best daddy there ever was xxxxxxxx
Miss you more each year. So much I wish I could share with you. Happy Christmas my brightness star. Love you xx
Christmas is never the same again after a loved one dies but you learn to be grateful for the happy memories and to look for the good in every day.
Dave and Karen, you are both loved so very much.
My mum said she didn't like Christmas much and its was a big fuss for one day. She loved shopping and buying gits for everyone though! She had a stash of presents from around April.
Missing you sweetheart, you were what made our Christmas’s special. Xx
David, the love of my life. Always on my mind, forever in my heart.
Remembering my beautiful mum at Christmas time xxxx love and miss you so so much xxxx
