To GGB,

Thank you for keeping an eye on me from heaven and please look after Doodle for us. You’d be so proud of how well I’m doing at school.

‘Always in my heart’

Your best friend Oliver JBD xxx

Almost 30 years on you are missed more than ever. The strength of the love we shared remains and has been a constant support to us in our lives. We love you Mum xxxx

I miss you so much. I will think of you when I am in Australia at Christmas, just as you had told me I had to go. Wish you could be with me. Love you forever.Andy x

Missing you mum especially at this time of year. You was always so magical at Christmas and loved to celebrate Christmas with everyone.

Love you always and forever

Dad, you were the best. Think of you each and every day.

Love you both forever. All my love

In memory of our beautiful Mum who we miss every day. Xxx

Dearly loved husband, devoted dad and grandad. Loved and remembered always.

My husband and I remember our much loved parents with great love always and especially at Christmas. This year we have lost 2 special people from our extended families, whose loss has been hard especially more poignant in these extraordinary times, but still missing from our lives.
My husband and I and a close friend always take part in the light a light with love and respect for everyone’s loved ones and will do so this year albeit virtually ❤️

You take with you the love of your beautiful wife Carol and the rest of your loving family
We will all be with you one day dancing a merry tune to that guitar
Sleep tight you wonderful man
Until we meet again xx

In memory of our much loved brother-in-law, John.
You were always there for our family, in good times and in bad. We shared so many good times together…..New Year dances in Newark big family Christmas Days and holidays. You are thought of every day and we often talk about the times we spent together, which we will hold in our hearts forever.
Always remembered, Anne & Chris 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.

Thanks for sharing 60 wonderful years.

Tommy B, we all miss you and your magic energy, cheeky sense of humour and gorgeous smile so much!
We will make sure your Christmas Tree looks beautiful and the lights in the garden are just how you like them.
Love you forever and always dude Xxx

Remembering my dad, who always loved Christmas xx

My first Christmas without a hug and smile from you will be difficult but I will remember how lucky I have been to call you ‘Mum’ for so many years and how wonderful it was to be your son.

Thinking of you this Christmas, with your red jumper and white beard, always our very own Santa. Miss you xxx

Our first Christmas without you. We miss you so much beautiful boy

22 years today since we lost you Mam and 19 years next week for you, Dad.
Christmas is not the same without you.

He was our Bill, he loved looking after us and was the most generous and kind man. Wonderful husband, dad and grandad. Who loved Disney world the most.

We love and miss you all so very much. Lots of love from all of us xxxxxxx

Your light still shines brightly in my life and you are sorely missed.xxx
