Chris loved Christmas and the joy it brings to families and individuals alike. Her birthday was on the 21st December and our daughters wedding anniversary on the 22nd, so a very happy time with lots to celebrate. Chris was a Christian and had faith that Jesus would help her through the difficult times, which I am sure he did. Our Christmas festivities started by attending the carol service at the Cathedral and then getting ready for the big day with our daughter and her family. She took so much pleasure in giving and seeing the joy that it brought to others – that is what I remember about her at this time of year.
Happy Christmas grandad & uncle George, this Christmas without you has been hard. Miss you so much, love you and forever thinking of you both x

Dear Daddy, your golden voice will ring through the ages and your music will touch many more hearts to come. We miss you immensely and may your tenor voice be ringing out true and clear wherever you are. I love you Daddy.
Not a day goes by without missing you both. So many memories to help us through the dark days. Living life and fulfilling dreams to make memories with our kids as you both did with us x x
Your love of Christmas always shone so brightly. You spent many, many hours volunteering as Father Christmas for various local charities. Such care and attention for every single child you saw. Making sure that you kept the magic alive for them ❤️ we miss you dad, always, every day, but particularly at Christmas
Loved Always, Never Forgotten.

Dear Grandad,
It will be the first Christmas without you this year, but I know you’ll be by outside always. Love you always. Katie and Emilie xx
The missing parts of my family will always be in my heart and with me wherever I go.
For my loving husband who always enjoyed Christmas, this was his most favourite time of the year.
A Christmas memory that always makes my heart pang, as young children we would sing carols around the table whilst leaving a Sherry and mince pie for Father Christmas and a carrot for Rudolph. Miss you! Love from your little brother, Tom.
Treasured memories of a loving husband, dad and grandad. We think of you, speak of you and miss you everyday xxx

Dear Granny Grandad, Auntie Bridget, Great Granny and Grandad Flynn and Great Granny and Grandad McGregor, we all miss you very very much especially around a special time as Christmas when we wish you could all be with us. Some of you , Granny, Great Granny& Grandad Flynn and McGregor I’ve unfortunately never got to meet you but some of you may remember me as a tiny baby but I wish that I was blessed with time with all of you to really know what wonderful people you really were but luckily I feel so close to you and I have so many stories from everyone to learn so much about you all and I know you are always with me. Grandad, I got so many wonderful years with you but I’m still not over the fact you are no longer with us, the world was so much brighter with you in it. With your passion for music, your warm embrace whenever you gave me a hug, so tight but so warm. Your determination with everything you did and the fact you just were my best friend in the whole world. Christmas is very hard without you, you would always be helping around the house doing piles of ironing or helping mum with some DIY or suddenly on Christmas Day saying we needed to take the dining room door off ha ha, you were full of surprises. I miss you so very much and I love you, please kiss Granny for me and tell her I am always thinking of her. And Auntie Bridget, who basically became my Granny, you were a pillar in my life, you taught me so much about cooking, elegance and grace, you devotion to God was so admirable and really rubbed off on me. Your gentle voice and guidance in everything raised me to be who I am today. I miss you so much sometimes when I’m having a bad day all I can think of is how much I need you. But I know you are with me and i with you.
Merry Christmas to my wonderful family who are never forgotten and so happy in our thoughts.
Our Beautiful Mum/Nanna. We miss you so much. Our lives are not the same without you. We will love you forever and always. Shine bright! Love Vanessa, Myla and Frankie xxx
