Thinking of you both as Christmas draws near, and of all the lovely Christmas memories we shared as a family. I planted a lilac tree in our garden this summer in your memory and can’t wait to see it flower again next year. Merry Christmas up there… gone but never forgotten. Lots of love from Hannah xxx
Another year without you, forever missed Verity xxx
Missing you mum.
TREASURED MEMORIES AND MISS YOU ALWAYS
LOVE FROM GRAHAM MARLENE AND FAMILIES
My Darling wife, taken too early, I will always love you. I am sure that you shine a light, wherever you are.????
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.
Two very important people who are sadly missed and fondly remembered, both taken too soon.
Especially at Christmas we remember you and wish deeply for one last conversation.
To my beautiful soul mate Tony, love and miss you more each day especially this time of year xxxx
Forever in my heart

Life's too short
My beloved parents,

Never forgotten❤️
Hi dad, we are all missing you so very much. We talk about you often and remember all the memories you gave us. We look to the night sky and find your star. It twinkles down on us all and says, " Don't worry, I'm always by your side, be strong, and remember yo live life, until we can be together again.
Love you.
My mom and Best Friend who was there for me. The most selfless person I have ever known. All mom wanted was to be with her family, nothing else mattered to her. She fought Dementia and Alzheimer’s for 8 years. I love you mom xxx
To Dad, my hero,
I think of you and miss you every single day. There is a dad shaped hole in my heart that feels more prominent at this time of year.
This light is dedicated to you. May it shine as bright as your smile.
Merry Christmas.
Love you always

Beautiful parents and sister – always in our thoughts.
You are missed beyond words, especially at this time of year, and live beyond measure.
This will be the first Christmas without my wonderful Mum.
Miss her so very much every day and would do anything for a coffee and chat with her.
Always in our heart Son.
My Dear Husband taken so quickly and loved so much. I don't know what I am going to do without you. Our Anniversary 14th December and would be for 52 years, I have known nothing else in my lifetime.
I love you so much and will forever miss you. Life will never be the same for me and the family.
