Grandma loved Christmas and having family round. First one this year without her xx

I miss you playing little jingles to wake us up on Christmas morning. I miss the smile on your face and excitement in yours eyes when you present us with Christmas stockings – that you STILL did for us all even as adults each year. I miss the strange/odd gifts you used to buy me that you thought I’d love! I miss seeing you dancing and singing to ‘rocking around the Christmas tree’ (usually in something red!) in the kitchen while we prepped and cooked Christmas dinner together… and so much more besides.

I regret that you never saw me happy with Russ who I met the year after you passed and I am saddened that you never got to hold your Grandchild Oakley. But you live on in all of us and Russ tells me he feels like he knows you as I speak of you so often and Oakley will feel the same in time I’m sure it – he already has a lot of love for ‘Nanny Bear’ who he kisses and cuddles often. I tell him he has to be a good boy as Nanny is always watching and checking in on him!

We miss you Mum, our sun moon and stars xxxxxx

To Simo, Remembering all the special times we had together as a family at Christmas. The first will always be hard but we know you’ll be shining down on us. We’ll raise a pint to you on Christmas Day. We all miss you so much. Shine bright my Simo. Lots of endless love from your Kezza, Tom, Jack and all your loving loving family. ❤️ xxxxxx

Thinking of you Dad. Loved and missed every day. Shine bright. Love from Mandy, Jack & Frankie xx

My dad was my best friend, always smiling no matter what. At Christmas even when bedbound because of his cancer he would still be there with his raindeer antlers and flashing red nose.

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

We miss you so much Dad and life just isn’t the same without you in it! We think about you with love every day xxx

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

Missing you both so much especially at Christmas as you both loved this time of year and made it so special
Lobed and missed always

Julie was a wonderful sister and friend. Always thinking of others. We had some wonderful Christmas together.

If love could have saved you, you’d have lived forever ♥️ .. My beautiful Mum xx

Love you always. Xx

Missing you all at Christmas time once again.

We’ll always remember you through our very own little Eva

Forever in my thoughts and heart ♥️

Merry Christmas Mum. I know you're shining as bright in the sky as you did in life. Love you always xxx

My family loved and missed every day.

Always in our hearts.

In my thoughts and always in my heart, love you Jan xx

To Kevin,

I’ve never met you, but want to say how wonderful your daughter is. There were times I didn’t think I would make it through the year, but she has saved me in more ways than she’ll ever know and I will be forever grateful.

You should be sooooo proud of her and I know she misses you so much.

Hopefully one day I’ll get to meet you and tell you how wonderful she is, how she has turned in to a beautifully funny and kind person, always thinking about others.

James
