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.

Mum and Dad, together again this Christmas. Sending you both lots of love. Jane xxx

Tim was a friend to everyone, kind, gentle and nothing was too much trouble.
Tim attended Lincoln City Foundation ladies walking football matches, not only to support his wife Caz but to give a everyone present a reason to smile. From picnics to a supporting hug Tim was always there, taking photos, giving a full briefing on the matches via social media and making us laugh.
Tragically following a short battle with the c word, Tim was taken from us too soon.
Tim leaves behind a devastated family, especially wife Caz, and a very upset and confused daughter (aged 6), who does not really understand where or why her daddy was taken and cannot return.
Christmas will be hard for the whole family, but with the support of many people, will make it as best as we can for them, and never forget Tim.

My mum and Dad always made Xmas time so special for us and I would love to keep the Christmas spirit alive for them with the twinkling lights on the memory tree.. also for our baby son Jack born sleeping
Remembering my good friend Dawn who spent her last weeks in the wonderful care of st Barnabas xxx

To an amazing mum and dad, always in our hearts x

Will be thinking of you both. Wish you were with us. Love always. Xx

Miss you both. x

Love and miss you every single day ❤️❤️❤️ Xxx

My father died at the age of 39 and my sister at 19 and despite these tragedies, my mother lived to the age of 84. They are always in my thoughts. I have had the good fortune to have lived just over twice as long as my dad and just over four times longer than my sister!

In memory of my wonderful Mum who is missed every day.

Shine above that rainbow my darling. Love always Paul xx
