Missing my wonderful mischievous dad this Christmas

You always were and forever will be a light in my life Dad,
Forever missed and loved.
Your Daughter xx

It is 27 years since Pauline passed away in the care of the Hospice. I still miss her and talk to her.

Miss you so much, nothing compares

Love you always Dad xxx ❤️

You were like a son to me and a dearly loved member of the family.xxx

Keep shining bright for us you are forever missed, more than ever at Christmas time xxx

You will always be a part of us as we take on each day and one day we will meet again! ❤️

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.

I miss my family everyday but more so at christmas xxx

Love you all very much and miss you. Look after each other on the other side…Jack is on his way. xxxx

She was a life friend to my mother in law, they had been friends for over 40yrs, and sadly she lost her fight with cancer recently..

Dad and I were very grateful for all the support and assistance St Barnabas provided for him in his time of need. Thank you for everything St Barnabas X

Always thinking of you both, forever in our hearts xxx

Karen Chambers – There are no words that can describe the past few months as we make sense and come to terms with the loss of a most beautiful and brave lady at the age of 47 years. We miss you so much, and our lives will never be the same again. We will always love you and you will be forever in our thoughts and hearts.

A very proud rock ape who was so brave to the end. A loving husband and dad we will love and miss you always . Susan + Samantha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope you’re looking after my Phil up there Grandma, love and miss you both so much xxx

Merry Christmas husband, it's not getting easier. Until we meet again – keep shining down on me please. 831 XXX

Merry Christmas Mum. I know you're shining as bright in the sky as you did in life. Love you always xxx

Paul – thanks for our beautiful 25 years

David – so glad you had kindness in your life

Christmas was his favourite time of year; it's not the same without his practical jokes, dancing Christmas hats or wicked sense of humour. Loved dearly x
