Another Christmas without Granny’s magic. Miss and love you more than you can imagine xxx

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.

Thinking of you always with love

In memory of a wonderful friend- deeply missed and will never be forgotten x

We miss you especially at Christmas time. With your bah humbug hat on. Eating the minces pies as they came out of the oven.

To a loving grandad who had the unique power to light up every room he walked into. Thank you for keeping us all so young at heart ????

Thinking of my dear Brother and two Sister in Laws. Taken too soon by the dreaded cancer. Remembered with affection by Mole and Barb.

We all miss you both every single day.

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.

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

He loved Christmas so much we love and miss him so much xx

Christmas can be a magical but sad time.

I have wonderful memories of times past that bring me great joy and you were a central part of them. I have to learn how to accept that our journeys are different now.

Always in my heart and in my memories, with love Mum. To a very special woman from your daughter.

Remembering my beautiful sister at her most favourite time of year, life will never be the same without you. Merry Christmas Nat

After 64 years together there's a big gap in life, very much loved and missed. The first Christmas alone will be hard. Lots of love, Derek

Missing you and loving you every day.
You were the best.
All my love John

In Memory of my beautiful sister, she sadly lost her brave and courageous battle against cancer nearly 6 years ago. She loved Christmas with her Family.

Love and miss you every day Dad xxx

Tony lit up the lives of everyone around him, its fitting that his memory continues to shine brightly xx

Missing you all, never forget you.

Mum loved visiting Lincoln Cathedral at Christmas. I think she would have been happy to know her light giving others so much pleasure. She is so missed. X

To Dad,

I miss you so much, even as the year’s pass by so quickly, that doesn’t change. I wish you could have had the opportunity to meet my girls, you would have loved being their Grandad and watching them grow up.
We like to think you are still here, watching over us all.

Love you, Charlotte xxxxx

forever in my thoughts and always in my heart especially at Christmas.
Love you Jan xx.

I love you so much and I miss you so much. I wish you was here this Christmas.
Love From,
Annie.
