Dad, second Christmas without you. I miss you every minute of every day and still can't believe you are gone.
My heart aches for you and always will. I hope you are now resting, finally pain free! Taken far to young at 63. I promise to keep your memory alive and live the life that you couldn't. All my love forever and always. Your girl, your proud daughter, Charley xxx

Loving memories of a muched loved Dad

My beautiful Nan. Merry Christmas, we miss you dearly. All our love. Xx

Remembering lovely Sonja. A wonderful mum to Katie and friend to so many.
She was a light in the world and is very much missed.

In memory of my beloved Granny and Grandad, who benefited from and truly appreciated St Barnabas. Thank you both for lighting up my life. I love you both.

The most special person in my life. So many beautiful memories
of the precious years we had together.
I miss you so much Dougie 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.

My mum was a loving mother, mother in law and nana who is missed so much. My mum dedicated her life caring for us all and for others as she worked caring for the sick and elderly. St Barnabas hospice looked after her in her last few days which was greatly appreciated by us all. Please keep up the great work you do everyday. Love to you all this Christmas time xxx

Uncle Steve, we will all miss you this Christmas. Thinking of you and sending love. Always in our hearts, Wendy, Garry, Sophie, Natalie, William and family xxx

This is John's 7th heavenly Christmas and he is loved, remembered and missed very much by all of our family. Always in our thoughts and hearts xxx

Happy Christmas Dad – always thinking of you.

Our Nanna was the heart of Christmas for our family, we miss you so much but we carry on celebrating for you xx

Dad, who would always wake is up on Christmas morning because he was so excited to see us open our presents. I miss the 5am text messages as an adult asking if Santa has been to my home yet. Love you Dad xx

A wonderful, kind, warm person with a mischievous sense of fun. You will be missed by so many.

It's always hard at this time of year and things don't get any easier. However, I have many fond memories, which make me laugh, cry and smile.
Always in my thoughts each and every day.

Love Maureen

We miss you & love you so much daddy xxx
