Dear dad, I know Christmas was your favourite holiday of the year and I always find it the most hard. I have some amazing Christmas memories with you and wish we could make more . I hope you’re safe up there, I love you always, Rosie.

St Bs were amazing looking after both my Dad and best friend through their valiant battles – this time of year they are especially missed and it’s so important we support the hospice and staff continue their vital work. Huge thanks to you all!

For my beautiful, brave mum.

Forever in my thoughts. Love you sweetheart

My Nan was a fighter but lost her battle with Covid 19 this year. She now joins her daughter, son and my grandfather in peace.

Shining for the love of my life and my very best friend, so very desperately missed.

Miss you each and everyday.
This year you would have been a great grandad, and what a great one you would have been. Your great grandson has Johnny as his middle name, after you.

Mum you always made Christmas special for us even when there was little money. You are the Angel on top of my tree.????

I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.

You are always in my thoughts.
I miss you so much. Life is so empty without you.My love always
love
Mary

To a loving Husband, Brother, Father and Grandfather – We miss you every day xxxx

Graham will always be missed by the whole family especially by his 2 grandsons.

Merry Christmas grandad from all of us here in Lincoln and Watford, we miss you so much, this is the first Christmas without you physically here but we know you’ll always be with us in our hearts ❤️

Missing them all at this time of year, and the fun we shared at Christmas time

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.

Benjamin, you are in our hearts forever, we miss you so very very much so much more than words can ever say.

Christmas was Hannah's favourite time x

The hospice at home team were amazing at supporting my father in law in his last weeks, and allowed the family to spend that time together at his home. His grandchildren would like his light to shine on the tree of life this Christmas, as he was such a big part of all family festivities and was the ‘real’ Santa to all who knew him.

The most courageous woman I have ever known. She was selfless, caring and thoughtful. I had the privilege of having her as my mum. I miss her greatly. She has left the biggest whole in our lives that can never be filled. Love you forever mum ❤

We will miss you so much this Christmas mum as we always spent it together. You are our shining star, always the fighter. All our love James, Abigail, Sonny & Georgia xxx

Thinking of you this Christmas as we celebrate another year without you xXx

Thinking about you x

Dearly loved, never forgotten, sadly passed away in 2014.
Resting in a place with her Mum and Dad and her sister, Joanne.
Bless you all.
