Enjoyed being with people

Papachief,
The last time I saw you was on Christmas Day 2018. I think about you everyday and if I’d only known that was the last time, I would of squeezed you harder. You’ll always be in my heart and when the Robbin comes for a visit I often smile. I love you so much, this lights for you.
Yours always Kidchief xxxxx

First Christmas without you Dad but you will be forever in my heart. I think about you and talk about you every single day, you are missed more than words can describe. Love you so much 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.

Love and miss you everyday ❤️ always in my thoughts xxx

St Barnabas made it possible for my husband to spend his last weeks at home as he wished and I was well supported.

However hard the grief is I know I'm fortunate to have had both these lovely people in my life.
To my big brother, Dave and my best friend, Karen – love never dies.

Dad, you passed away 18th Oct 2020 and I still can’t believe you are gone, my heart is breaking. You were my hero and I’m going to miss you so so much, I’ll never forget you. Happy Christmas dad, love you, sleep tight, Michele xxx

Stuart, three years on and missing you as much as the first day, always remembered and much loved x

There are no words to say how much I miss you, and especially at this time of year on our first Christmas without you. You always made Christmas so magical for us growing up and I’m trying to do the same for the girls, after all I was taught by the best, but without you every day is tinted with a little grey

Merry Christmas mum, I love you xxxx

There is never a day goes by without I think of you, miss you so much. You would be so proud of how amazing our children are and their families. I will always love you.xxx

Remembering the happiest memories in the 23 years we knew you. Forever greatful you found us ❤️. Thinking of Helen, Allison, Gord, Scott, Jen, Alex and Ben during this hard time.
Lots of love
Ruth, Steve, Kat and Rachel
