Chris loved Christmas and the joy it brings to families and individuals alike. Her birthday was on the 21st December and our daughters wedding anniversary on the 22nd, so a very happy time with lots to celebrate. Chris was a Christian and had faith that Jesus would help her through the difficult times, which I am sure he did. Our Christmas festivities started by attending the carol service at the Cathedral and then getting ready for the big day with our daughter and her family. She took so much pleasure in giving and seeing the joy that it brought to others – that is what I remember about her at this time of year.

Happy heavenly Christmas to Dad and Maureen remembering the happy memories together xxx

In memory of my soulmate for 70 years . Mother and Granny to our family.

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.

My wonderful Dad was a loving and caring Dad and Grandad. His birthday was a week before Christmas. We always made it special for him with it being so close to celebrating Christmas. He felt he missed out when he was younger! We always had a family get together – a birthday tea on the 18th December. When we were little and later when our children were small we knew it would be a week until Santa would have visited. I have wonderful memories of my Dad. He is deeply missed every day. Happy Christmas my darling Dad. Forever in our hearts.
Love Karen, Jim and Michael xxx

Soo Gillespie, I will love and remember you always xxxxxxx

Merry Christmas Mum. Thinking of you always. Love John Amy & boys xx

Greatly loved and missed

Our first Christmas without Mum and it will feel very empty. Mum was always the life and soul of any gathering at Christmas and throughout the year and will be hugely missed. We will especially miss her delicious Christmas pudding! I’ll be raising a glass to Mum and hope she’ll be doing the same along with all her friends & family. Love always xxx

Paul – thanks for our beautiful 25 years

David – so glad you had kindness in your life

Josephine and Tony are greatly missed by all the family and never forgotten. With love from Jack and Mary and all the family.

Love you both forever. All my love

Happy Christmas Mum, I still miss you every day and as Christmas comes round once again it reminds me how much I miss seeing you in your musical Santa hat and how much laughter we shared. Enjoy your Christmas with Nanna and Grandad. Love you always xx
