Dad was cared for by St Barnabas inpatient unit for just over 3 weeks this year and they did a fabulous job to make dad comfortable and pain free as per his wishes. Also doing all they could to involve us during the pandemic. Dad lived in Lincoln all his life and memories with him will always be in our heart. Lighting a light for him will light up the memories we have of him, especially being the first Christmas period without him.

Miss you every day dad, your smile, your laughter, your advice and your commitment to life. Love you always Alison 💙

Nan, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Christmas was your favourite time of year so I hope you and grandad Reg are up there having the times of your life. Love you so much Nan. You were the best xxxxx

First Christmas without you pops, we’ll raise a glass or two for you! Love and miss you so very much xxx

Myself and my dad used to have a competition on who would have our Christmas tree up first. Dad always won! He used to ring me saying he had beat me, I really miss having that call ♡

Shine brightly Russ
I love and miss you soo much ❤️

Loved and missed always x

I love you all so very much.
See you soon then xxxx

Dr. Shah was a light among us! I have such nice memories of her when she would come to the US to visit her daughter, my bestie, Bhaval. She had such a close, loving bond with her grandchildren. And she was always perfectly put-together, even just to do the school pick-up. She will be deeply missed by all.

Another Christmas without you both, yet not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. This time of year still doesn’t feel the same, but I reflect on every moment we got to share. The grief of your absence is strongest amidst the festive joy, yet it reminds me how fortunate I was to be so deeply loved.

Merry Christmas, Grandma & Grandad –
cheers to you with a Sherry or two!
I’ll light a candle in memory of you;
two loving hearts still guide me through.
All my love, forever and more –
I’ll see one day, waiting at Heaven’s door. ♥️

Dad, I don't know how to make the stuffing like you and grandad did so dinner can never be the same. Thank you for the years you kept opening the kitchen door, always at the wrong time, and rolling your eyes at my obsessive list checking. No one else can take that place. I miss you.

Missing my mam and dad, as both passed away at Christmastime

All dad used to ask for every Christmas was a “nice jumper and a nice aftershave”. Once he’d unwrapped them he’d immediately put on the jumper and spray himself all over and sit with a smile on his face.
Miss you dad x

All our memories are and will be forever in my heart.

Happy Christmas mum. Miss you xx

To GGB,

Thank you for keeping an eye on me from heaven and please look after Doodle for us. You’d be so proud of how well I’m doing at school.

‘Always in my heart’

Your best friend Oliver JBD xxx

I am dedicating this light to my Nan, Joy. She was an amazing lady who was always the light and soul of everything. We lost you recently and it is so hard that your not here. We miss you everyday and love you so much. Shine bright Nan.
