Emma is our daughter, born 14 June 1988, who stayed with us for just one day. We have taken part in the Light a Light procession every year since, this is her part of Christmas.
Tilly is our first grandchild, born March 2020, whom we have not been able to meet and cuddle yet due to the COVID Pandemic and travel restrictions across the World. Instead of being able to show her the Christmas Tree in person, to have her own light shining on it is the next best thing.
For my daughter Katy who was tragically taken from us on 18th December 1999 at the age of 15. She is singing now with the angels.
And and wonderful husband Terry Brighton who fought so hard to beat cancer but was taken from us on 31st October 2022.
My sincere thanks to the wonderful St Barnabas nurses who helped and supported us through this dreadful last year. Linda Brighton
Strength not measured just in years, but seen in kindness measured forever.
Rod I’ll love and remember you always and forever xx❤️
I miss you playing little jingles to wake us up on Christmas morning. I miss the smile on your face and excitement in yours eyes when you present us with Christmas stockings – that you STILL did for us all even as adults each year. I miss the strange/odd gifts you used to buy me that you thought I’d love! I miss seeing you dancing and singing to ‘rocking around the Christmas tree’ (usually in something red!) in the kitchen while we prepped and cooked Christmas dinner together… and so much more besides.
I regret that you never saw me happy with Russ who I met the year after you passed and I am saddened that you never got to hold your Grandchild Oakley. But you live on in all of us and Russ tells me he feels like he knows you as I speak of you so often and Oakley will feel the same in time I’m sure it – he already has a lot of love for ‘Nanny Bear’ who he kisses and cuddles often. I tell him he has to be a good boy as Nanny is always watching and checking in on him!
We miss you Mum, our sun moon and stars xxxxxx

To the brightest star in the sky. I miss you finishing your Christmas shopping in July and moaning about how ‘it’s all this for one day!’ until December 25th. I know you’re looking over us all on this special year and raising a Bacardi & Coke to the next. Lots of love, Lauren xx
I will always remember sleeping in you room Christmas Eve so that we could wake up in the morning and run downstairs to check if Santa had been.
Your missed by us all
