Merry Christmas Funtime xxx

Auntie Edna was an inspiration to me, and all that had the pleasure of knowing her. Despite challenges she faced, she always had a positive attitude, and such determination, strength and bravery that astounded us all. She had the kindest heart, the biggest smile and will be very missed by all that knew her. She always wanted to help others, enjoyed baking, especially rock cakes, which were amazing and has taught me so much and a real example of the woman I have become. We have so many amazing memories together, from being young in her garden watching the lilies blossom in her pond, baking all sorts of delights together to hours sat on the sofa chatting. She leaves a very big hole, however, I know her star is shining brightly above us.

Thinking of you always with love

I lost my dad 10 years ago suddenly, but my mum we lost in January 2020 after her 2 year battle with cancer, so last Christmas was our last, she was very poorly at this time but we treasured every moment we had with her.

Dearest David a year since you left us and I miss you more every day.
So very grateful to the staff at St Barnabas hospice for the wonderful care and love they gave you in your final weeks.

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.

They all went too soon and leaving a hole in our lives but also a huge amount of happy memories. The pain we feel at their loss represents the huge love we have for them.

We remember them frequently: with a smile, a tale retold, a song they loved, a phrase they used and how they made our lives richer. They may not be here in body but they remain with us in our hearts x

Miss you Mummy.
Lots of love, Ed, Georgie & Soph Xxxx
