Christmas was always a special time between my Dad and I. Always big on traditions, we would go pick out a tree together, decorate it and the house whilst listening to Christmas music and eating mince pies!
This year marks 5 years since he passed away, and I have struggled to uphold these traditions the past 5 years, but I finally feel like I will be able to get back to them this year with the fond memories of Christmases past and smile knowing he would be happy that I can get back to enjoying a holiday that I have always loved.

Merry Christmas Dad. I love and miss you everyday. I hope that I do you proud with my Christmas tree choice!! 🙂 xxxx

My beautiful Mum, shining bright always not just at Christmas. Loved Always. Missed Forever xxx

To my wonderful Dad, your smile always lit up any room you walked in to. I won't ever forget our fun holidays together and all the adventures we had. You always managed to calm me when I shared my worries and fears with you. You were the eternal optimist and I can still hear your voice in my heart giving me advice when ever I'm troubled. I love you so much dad and still miss you everyday. Your memory remains in my heart until we are together again xxxx

Thinking of you as always this Christmas – All our love Rita and family

Loved and missed very much every day by us all.xx

Gill. Although you are not with us in person we see you and feel you every day in our hearts, and we have some of the best conversations. We still go everywhere together hand in hand and we always will. I hear you shout encouragement to the boys when they play football and I know they feel your support. We love you so much, Kevin, Claire Brett Rosie, Stuart Heidi Jayden Jacob & Jess xxxxxxxxx

In loving memory

Always loved, always missed, especially at Christmastime

Thinking of Dad at Christmas time. We miss you every day. Lots of love, Nick & Jo xx

To a very dear friend, Paul. We never thought this time last year you would not be here to celebrate Christmas this year. We will miss you dearly, love Nick, Jo and all of your friends xx

Second Christmas without you, thinking of you every day my friend xx

Mums favourite time of the year was Christmas, mainly because she loved to gather her family around her. She was a strong supporter of St Barnabas and always dedicated a light on the tree of life.
We were very grateful for their care of mum in her final weeks, and love to support St Barnabas each Christmas in mum’s memory.

In loving memory of Peter Kinnear. We will miss you so much. No matter where you are you will always be our Gaga.
Love you always.
Your family
Xx

A dear friend….sadly missed.

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

Not a day goes by that we don’t think about you, your laugh and your smile. We miss you so much but we know that you are now lighting up the sky with your smile and the stars shine brighter now you’ve joined them – i love you nanny ????

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

Thinking of you Dad at this special time as we do every day. We love and miss you. Lots of love from Rita, Jane, John, Jessica, Chris, Holly, Eleanor, Poppy xxx

My Christmas cake never tastes as good as yours did xx

Remembering a much loved husband and father. Forever in our thoughts and hearts. Xx

Wonderful memories of great times spent together. Adrenalin-fuelled planning, 'who' was coming and 'when'? Last minute shopping a certainty! The fraught stages of prep forgotten as the day filled with love, laughter, and good cheer. Remembered now with great love as that Christmas Table shrinks, albeit gradually.

A special Dad who will live in my heart forever.
Thinking of you always xx

Thinking of you today, and everyday; remembering the light you brought to the world.
With love from Gemma, Becky, Ettie, Joe and Ashley xxx

A true family celebration and special times spent together. All that's left are memories.

I will always and forever hold you in my heart and mind.

We will be thinking of you as always this Christmas. It is the first Christmas that our family is back together in your old house, so it will bring back so many happy memories. You will both be missed, especially Grandad’s jokes and Grandma’s mince pies and trifle!

Lots of love,

Hannah, Lucy, Ian and Ruth xxx
