We miss our wonderful Grandma so very much- she’d be so proud of our ever expanding family. We shall all raise a glass of Sherry in her honour this Christmas!
Mum, Grandma & Grandad you are dearly missed especially this time of year as we always spent Christmas as a family.
We all love and miss you.
Wishing my mum and dad a very happy Christmas, miss you at this time of year, always in my heart never forgotten love you both xx
Celebrating your Birthday on the 18th December, you would be 95. Many happy memories of Family Christmases shared, full of love and laughter, Christmas stockings, and you in your Christmas sweater.
Forever loved and missed
Never forgotten a loving husband, dad, step dad and Grandad forever in our thoughts xx
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.
You are missed so much Markus
Thought about every day
Love you lots Simon Kerry and family xxx
Dot was a wonderful Wife, Mum, Nana and Big Nana, she was such a awesome lady ,who would do anything for anyone and everyone loved her , she is missed so massively every single day.

We'll miss you so much! There's not another one like you 😉
We'll always try to remember to look on the bright side of life in your honour. Thank you for all that you have taught us. We love you so much! Lots of love from Sam & Kyra xxxxx
Mum, you passed away 20th December 2020, 2 months and 2 days after dad. We are still in shock a year on, how cruel it was that you were taken from us as well as uncle Ed and dad in the same year. Despite us being absolutely devastated we understand that you didn’t want to be separated from dad after 58 years together. The only comfort we have is knowing you are back together, side by side where you belong. We did this for dad and uncle Ed and their lights shine bright on the Christmas tree so this is for you mum.
Happy Christmas, we love and miss you all so so much,
From your loving daughters Michele, Simone and Rosalind xxx
Merry Christmas Dad.
I love you and miss you so much.
Love always,
Jen

Merry Christmas Dad and Nan you're both spending Christmas together in heaven but we know you're keeping an eye on us. We'll raise a glass to you this season of cheer but still shed a tear missing having you here.

Remembering Rachael and all loved ones at Christmas who touched our lives x
He was always so kind and calm and passed away last November at St.Barnabas Hospice. I loved him so dearly, we wrote to each other regularly, he is greatly missed by myself and his grandson Ethan.
My Dad loved Christmas! He’s been gone 28 years now. He would have loved our life in Lincoln. Merry Christmas lots of love. David ❤️
Peace to All
Love and miss you Dad every day love from Karen xx
You are loved,
You are missed,

The first Christmas without our beloved husband to Sharon, father of Lisa and Sara, father-in-law to Alex and Ben and grandad to Alfred and Penelope.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about you.
I hope you're looking down and watching over me.
Miss you always

My Nana was so much more than just my Nana, she was the most incredible, caring, loving, selfless person I knew. It was and always will be an honour to be her granddaughter. Her love was like no other, her strength and faith unwavering through every single trial and tribulation. She was our Rai of sunshine and our light in the dark, so tonight we will be her light because she no longer can.
Love you until the end of time Nana, from ‘your girls’🤍
Merry Christmas mum/ nan we miss you more than ever. Keep shining like you always did. Love you xxx
