Forever enjoying the view

My mum passed away from cancer in spring this year aged 70 years old. I miss her dearly and am still rather shocked she is not going to be here this Christmas. She was a fantastic dancer and used to be a go go dancer back in the 70s. As she got into her 60s she started doing ballroom dances and going to dances every weekend. She loved dressing up in fancy outfits (usually a charity shop bargain). My children will miss their little nanny this Christmas. And I will miss my mum. My son (age 3) thinks she's gone to the moon. ???? From there she can watch over us.

Our wonderful Grandad who gave us the most amazing memories. We love and miss you, more than words. Wishing you a heavenly Merry Christmas. Sending all our love and a special kiss from Lilia ❤️

Missing dad this Christmas

My Dad passed away in 1997. He was an incredible man and a complete inspiration as he was also diabetic since he was 11. This never stopped him doing anything. He was a Scout leader for many years! Still miss him and love him loads. ❤️

My much loved younger brother, the 1st Christmas you won't be with your family.

Shine bright in our hearts

In memory of my wonderful Mum who is missed every day.

Happy Christmas dad – Christmas wasn’t really your thing but you tolerated it for us :-). Miss you. Xxx

Happy heavenly Christmas, Always loved and always remembered by all your family xx

You will always be in our hearts and we will raise a glass to you every Christmas Day.

There are no goodbyes for us…
Wherever you are, you will always be inside our hearts. Merry Christmas Dad♥️

A much loved brother after a long illness, a dear friend who took his own life, and a dearest friend who was taken far too early, and very quickly. St Barnabas supported her in her final days, thank you x

Wonderful parents, both cared for by St Barnabas at home
Gone but never forgotten

Missing you everyday, Nan. Always in my thoughts and forever in my heart. Love you always xxxx

Forever in my thoughts and heart ♥️

Thank you for the wonderful times and love we shared 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.

Christmas was always mums favourite time of year, it’s just not the same without you! Love you Heather xxx

Mum and Dad
Love and miss you every day xx

This light is dedicated to my mum and dad. May its light shine as brightly as their love.
