STEPHEN RIDER ‘NORM’ HAITH

From Ms. Shirley Haith

Words cannot express how much you are missed by us all. Merry Christmas Steve. Love always xxx

Linda Rawlings

From Miss Kayleigh Gardner

Merry Christmas Nanny, the first Christmas without you but forever in our mind and hearts. You are the brightest star on top of the tree. We miss you lots and love you millions.

Barbara Gissing

From Mrs. Helen Dann

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.

Janet Brooker

From Mrs. Catherine Hughes

Miss you every day Mum.
Christmas was your favourite time of year, because it brought your family together who meant everything to you.
Happy Christmas Mum, love you lots xxx

Clive Allison

From Miss Tracey Allison

Clive, the funniest, kindest Uncle who could light up a room the moment he stepped into it.
Now, there is a LIGHT in memory of you!
Look up, you will see Uncle Clive’s light shining in the stars; you will know which one as it will be the brightest one up there.

From Mrs Patricia Newsum

Clarice Mitchell

From Mr Andrew Bull

She was/is the guide to my path and the light to my walk with God.

Ian McGregor, Margaret McGregor, Mary Flynn & Bridget Barrett

From Mrs. Moira Scarborough

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.

Eric Robson & Jeff Wood

I choose not to lose my mum, and instead gain an angel, in my mind my heart, and my life she is still completely present to this day and as wise, companionate and stubborn as ever.
Love and miss you mum, Nannie
