My Dad loved Christmas! He loved the parties and the presents; he always watched everyone else open theirs and kept his in a pile next to him to savour. He was an incredibly generous man and always made sure everyone who knew him had a treat at Christmas time. This will be our sixth without him; we all miss him very much.

Missed dearly.

"Praise be to God, who spoke the stars that illuminate the night, for they are proof that even in the darkness, there is light."

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.

Miss you and love you Gran xx love your soul mate

A light in memory of my mother who is dearly missed by all her family. Never forgotten xxx

Miss you both so much x

Sharon loved Christmas – everything about it – food, drink, fun, shopping but most of all, giving to other people.
I miss my sister every single day and our family is not the same without her.

Poppet (Alan)
I love you more than words could say.
You are with me every day in my heart.
Shine bright up there you gorgeous man.
Will raise a glass or two for you this Christmas.
All my love always, till we meet again

Dad, you are so missed, especially now. Christmas was a time you always made so special and magical. Thank you for being the best Dad anyone could ask for, I’ll always be grateful for the years we had and for the memories you left behind. You & Mum gave me the best life I could’ve asked for, full of love and laughter. No words can ever describe how much you are loved and missed, every day. ❤️

Happy Christmas dad – Christmas wasn’t really your thing but you tolerated it for us :-). Miss you. Xxx

Trev,
Hannah, Joe and myself miss you and think about you every day.
We were so grateful for the care St Barnabas gave you.

Another year passes without you. Forever here with us in our hearts.

Together in eternity, forever loved and missed.
