Mum & Dad – still missed & loved. Remembering you both at Christmas xxx

I am immeasurably lucky to have loved him and to have been loved by him for nearly four decades.

You were the love of my life and I think of you and miss you constantly. Our first Christmas without you will be hard but we will remember the good times we had together (and there were so many good times.) Our memories of you live on in all of us. Sleep tight my love.

Christmas is a very special time to remember very special people. We dedicate these lights to our grandparents every year; knowing that they will make a difference to those facing challenging times across Lincolnshire makes it extra special.

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

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.

Thinking of you grandma as always and treasure those special memories and all the laughter we shared as a family over the years. You’ll always be truly treasured in our hearts and never forgotten. Love you always mum, grandma & great gran gran from your loving family xxxxxxx

Thank you for all the wonderful memories that we made together. xx

Mum loved visiting Lincoln Cathedral at Christmas. I think she would have been happy to know her light giving others so much pleasure. She is so missed. X

Christmas will never be the same without my darling husband at my side. Sorely missed and never forgotten.

A lovely girl with the kindest heart and a beautiful smile.
Everyone loved her. She lit up a room.

St Bs were amazing looking after both my Dad and best friend through their valiant battles – this time of year they are especially missed and it’s so important we support the hospice and staff continue their vital work. Huge thanks to you all!

Loved and missed every day xx

George misses his Daddy so much, we will love you forever xxxx

Dearest Sue, every year we have gone to the Christmas Tree at Lincoln Cathedral to light candles, first for Ted, then for Ted and Nick, now this year I will be going without you and adding your name. I am heartbroken and miss you so much, hope I am doing you proud. Love you for ever, Rachael xxx
