This was my husband’s most favourite time of the year. He loved all things shiny and glittery and would decorate the house with as much as he could get away with. This is our first year without him. ????

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.

Our first Christmas without you Dad, so very missed every day and always with so much love from us all xxx

Jules was one our GIRLS. Sadly now only 6 of us now. She was a beautiful person & a joy to be with. Very proud to call her my friend.

Being the best mummy, wife, sister, aunty, daughter and friend there ever was. Also wandering a hotel in a thong helped.

We will be thinking of you as always this Christmas. It is the first Christmas that our family is back together in your old house, so it will bring back so many happy memories. You will both be missed, especially Grandad’s jokes and Grandma’s mince pies and trifle!

Lots of love,

Hannah, Lucy, Ian and Ruth xxx

Gone, but never forgotten!
Our first Christmas without you.
We Miss You & Love You

Remembering all the loving, happy Christmases we shared over the years. We miss you all the time Dad but especially at Christmas xxx

To Grandad,

Merry Christmas! We all miss you so much!

Love from all of us!

This will be our first Christmas without you, it makes me sad that I will never have another hug that squeezes the life out of me again, all I can hope is that your in a better place with no more pain.
I love you Dad
