Setting up the tree

This light is dedicated in memory of Andrea Armstrong, a loving mum & nanny.

Mum, not a day goes by when I don't think about you. Your forever in my heart & thoughts. I wish you could have been here this year to see me finish uni, I know you will be so proud & beaming with pride up there. I have thought about you so much lately & how life should be right now with you here with us all. Your missed more than you will ever know. Love you always from Steph x

To our nanny in heaven, although we didn't get to meet you, we know who you are & all about you. We know you would have been the best nanny in the world to us, lots of love Summer, Chelsea, Mikey & Alfie x

For my wonderful Grandma, Olive. You’re awfully missed, especially around Christmas. I keep the memories of our extended Christmases & our birthdays close to my heart.

Warbie, a close and life long friend, much missed by all,
Hannah, not just a work colleague, a special lady who is a beautiful soul and very much missed
Trev, 5 years gone now, I wish things could’ve been different, remember you always

Thinking of members of my family who sadly are not here to share Christmas with us this year. Sorely missed.

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.

My dad would dress up as santa for my son and try and surprise him but my son always knew it was him. He guessed every time. My hero

Cracking open a tin of biscuits for you this Christmas! We all love and miss you lots, from the Lewin and Potter family. xxxxx

Missing you Mum. Love always, Lindsey, Marcus, Ben and Scarlett xxxx

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

To my Dad for being a rock to me and supporting me at my lowest. My fondest memory was spending time watching our favourite team Oldham Athletic home and away through the years. I love and miss you Dad xx

Always in our hearts

He was so much fun! He is very much loved and missed.

Christmas has lost its sparkle for me since the loss of both my soulmate, David, and many of our respective family members. I still embrace the religious significance, but sorely miss our family getting together to enjoy this very special celebration.

A light dedication for our wonderful Mum who always shone the brightest at Christmas. She was the best Mum and Grandma who has started traditions that we will continue. We love and miss you to the moon , Donna, Lisa, Laura and families xxx

Always Missed
Forever in My Heart xxxxxx
Love Kylie xxxxx

My beautiful daughter I miss you so much Mel I know life could be a struggle.for you and you are now at peace, no more tears, struggles and pain I love you so much always in my heart ❤️❤️ love mum and dad xx

Dad was cared for by St Barnabas inpatient unit for just over 3 weeks this year and they did a fabulous job to make dad comfortable and pain free as per his wishes. Also doing all they could to involve us during the pandemic. Dad lived in Lincoln all his life and memories with him will always be in our heart. Lighting a light for him will light up the memories we have of him, especially being the first Christmas period without him.

Christmas was always mums favourite time of year, it’s just not the same without you! Love you Heather xxx

To Mum,

I miss you more and more each day. Especially at Christmastime.

Forever in my heart and thoughts.
