Mum and dad gave me a perfect childhood. The older I get, the more I love and appreciate them. I hope they realised this.
We love and miss you always Dad xxx
My Gran was the kindest person I knew. She would do anything for me and I would do anything for her. She was lucky to receive the amazing care that she did from the hospice and I miss her so much

You may not be with me in person but your presence in my heart and mind has not dimmed with the passage of time. The excitement of Christmas has never been the same since we lost you.
In loving memory of Linda. Remembered by all those who knew her and loved her.
A shining light in all our memories that will never dim.
Grandad,
You are so very missed.
Our lives are not the same.
We will forever cherish memories of you.
Until we meet again.
All our love forever.
Mum,
Forever loved, forever missed 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.
2 years on from losing you and missing you so much that words are not enough. Our lives are so much poorer without you. You loved Christmas so much as it was a time our children and grandchildren were altogether and the inevitable empty chair at the table now is such a brutal reminder you are no longer with us. Rest in peace my love. Your beloved wife Di xxxx
Grandma and Grandad Hodgson missed everyday and in our thoughts.
Torridon, a visit this year brought back such happy memories
Remembering my darling baby grandson Attie. Born sleeping. Loved and missed so much by us all, at Christmas and always.
So strange you not being here with us, but your light will always shine. Always loved, always missed. ❤️
Wishing my dad and father in law a merry heavenly christmas truly the best time of the year. You might not both be here in body but your spirit is alive and you are both remembered every day. These lights are for you, and will shine brightly for all to see ss this is the time we wish you were here.
So many words…so much love. You are both very much in our hearts xxx
