Mum loved Christmas, the tree, the lights, the food, the presents and the time spent with family. Her tree was always up as early as she thought she could get away with, even if she was coming to spend Christmas with us and wouldn't really be there to see it! On Christmas day she was the biggest kid of all and we would wrap up any amount of random things just because she loved to open presents, however daft they may be. Christmas is not the same without her.

We miss you everyday clarkey but at Christmas your absence is felt the most…your favourite time of the year! xxxx

Merry Christmas dad, always remember you drinking your whisky on Christmas day telling silly jokes and one of your great Christmas dinners. Miss you so much xxxx

The joy my husband always displayed as he watched others opening Christmas presents especially his beloved granddaughters

Will be remembered always as a great Dad and loving husband xx

This is in memory of my Grandad, I have a lot of great memories of my Grandad

Miss you more than ever , we love you lots, never be forgotten

Remembering all the loving, happy Christmases we shared over the years. We miss you all the time Dad but especially at Christmas xxx

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

My mum spent her last moments in st barnabas and I am so grateful for the care they provided her and were able to give us those last special moments with her. All staff were amazing. I have no words that would forever show how incredible the place is!

My Uncle Lew was 2nd dad and my favourite person. He used to call me that too, "his favourite". My Auntie Bett is my 2nd mum and is my real life Fairy God-mother. She's now in the Hospice, being nursed and looked after by the wonderful nurses. Uncle Lew will fetch her when she's ready and they'll be together again. I love them both so much and I dedicate my light to them. They've lit up my life for the last 41 years and will do forever and ever. I feel so blessed they loved me back.

Mum and Dad…… Christmas isn’t the same without you both xz

Laura was the queen of Christmas, she would always be in the festive spirit super early and her house was like a grotto. I have many fond memories of seeing Laura just before Christmas, laughing, being silly, reminiscing and having a lovely time. I miss her everyday.

Thinking of members of my family who sadly are not here to share Christmas with us this year. Sorely missed.

A much loved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, whose passing left a void which will never be filled.Forever missed. Ray, Cathy, Nick, Rob and Lucyxxxxx

My mum was a loving mother, mother in law and nana who is missed so much. My mum dedicated her life caring for us all and for others as she worked caring for the sick and elderly. St Barnabas hospice looked after her in her last few days which was greatly appreciated by us all. Please keep up the great work you do everyday. Love to you all this Christmas time xxx

Jane was very well cared for at the hospice in her final few weeks. It's almost 8 years but she's still very much loved and missed. It's the anniversary of us losing our lovely Dad tomorrow to Covid. Brother Dave & I will be together and raising several glasses to him.

christmas isnt the same without you loved christmas and we love youxx

Missing you dad, big hugs and kisses to you and Buster. Love you both lots xxx

Tim is missed so much, even though it has been nine years. His wit and banter on the golf course are much missed……..

I miss you so much. My heart hurts so bad. Christmas was your favourite time of the year. You loved everything about it. Family gatherings were always fun. You loved giving gifts. Your gifts were always the best because you thought about everyone individually.
Sending big hugs.
Lots of Love

Emelia was our lovely granddaughter who we miss each day, she bought light to our lives. Sleep well xx

For my wonderful Grandad, also a beloved dad and friend. The epitome of a gentleman. Enjoy Christmas with Grandma again.
