I will always remember sleeping in you room Christmas Eve so that we could wake up in the morning and run downstairs to check if Santa had been.
Your missed by us all
Merry Christmas xx
Merry Christmas Lee. Hope you are celebrating with the angels. Our second Christmas with our you. We all miss you so much.
My first Christmas without a hug and smile from you will be difficult but I will remember how lucky I have been to call you ‘Mum’ for so many years and how wonderful it was to be your son.
In loving memory
We will remember our nanna because she helped Joe build his lego carousel last Christmas, because she made Evie two aprons, and the one with castles on it is her favourite, and for all the pennies she gave Joe and Evie every year for the advent calendars she made for them. We will so miss our Nanna this Christmas but we will love you forever. Joe and Evie xxxx
Christmas will never be the same without my darling husband at my side. Sorely missed and never forgotten.
Loved and remembered this Christmas and always x
With love at your favourite time of the year xxx
We all miss you so much, but will love you forever xxx
Laughing. Each had a good sense of humour.
Life's too short
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.
Keep shining over us Dad, love you forever

Geoff darling, memories will never leave me, I love you
Its only been a short time since we lost you but you are remembered by us all.Never forgotten x
Happy heavenly Christmas Dad and Mum reunited together this year love and miss you xx
My wonderful Dad was a loving and caring Dad and Grandad. His birthday was a week before Christmas. We always made it special for him with it being so close to celebrating Christmas. He felt he missed out when he was younger! We always had a family get together – a birthday tea on the 18th December. When we were little and later when our children were small we knew it would be a week until Santa would have visited. I have wonderful memories of my Dad. He is deeply missed every day. Happy Christmas my darling Dad. Forever in our hearts.
Love Karen, Jim and Michael xxx
