Love and Hugs at Christmas xx

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

Always in our thoughts. All our love at this special time of year from Peter and Georgina. xx

I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.

Mum, each day is a little darker without you so I hope this brings a little light. I hope we are making you proud. We vow to always stick together even though nothing is the same. Sometimes it feels as though you're here with us, just a little out of reach. Some days we could do with your honest (and probably brutal) advice, to make us see the right path. We will continue to work hard every day and support each other as you taught us.
Wish you were here ❤️
Merry Christmas Mum/Nanny/Maria

Merry Christmas we love and miss you both every single day xxx

Dad and I miss you everyday. I really hope we are making you proud, we look up to you in everything we do. We really do wish you were here with us this Christmas, as we do every year. We love you so so much.

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

WE MISS YOU STEVE X LOVE ALWAYS XXX

A wonderful, kind, loving man. Who will be forever loved.

Mum loved Christmas, the tree, the lights, the food, the presents and the time spent with family. Her tree was always up as early as she thought she could get away with, even if she was coming to spend Christmas with us and wouldn't really be there to see it! On Christmas day she was the biggest kid of all and we would wrap up any amount of random things just because she loved to open presents, however daft they may be. Christmas is not the same without her.

Thinking of you Dad. Loved and missed every day. Shine bright. Love from Mandy, Jack & Frankie xx

Grandma and Grandad Hodgson missed everyday and in our thoughts.

You’re not here anymore, where you have always been before. Our first Christmas apart but we’re together in my heart.
Your love remains it keeps me going, your faith and bravery it kept me knowing, that you were a gift my whole life through, a mother so loved ,that loved me too. Forever a light and forever my reason to keep going on whatever the season. Merry Christmas moom. Love your sweet pea. Xxx

Dear Robert
You were taken from us so unexpectedly and we miss you dreadfully. Christmas will be very difficult without you darling xxxx

Every day without you since you had to go,
is like a summer without sunshine and Christmas without snow.
I wish that I could talk to you, there’s so much I would say.
Life has changed so very much since you went away.
I miss the bond between us and I miss your kind support.
You’re in my mind and in my heart and every Christmas thought.
I’ll always feel you close to me and though you’re far from sight,
I’ll search for you among the stars that shine on Christmas night.
Love Bev, Amy, Millie & the boys x

To my beautiful auntie Sally,
