Always in our hearts, forever in our thoughts.xxxx

Thinking about you x

My Darling John was taken 16yrs ago at the age of 61yrs. You are always in my heart and miss you so much xxx
Your wife Carol xx

Daddy was unique, a classical tenor, a jack of all trades, mastering most, he built our family home in Greece himself, taught us independence and to enjoy the little things, breaking free of generational shackles to love and support us with our Mummy. We are lucky to have had you in this life as our Daddy. We love you and will miss you fiercely.

With lots of love, remembering you at Christmas and always 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 has lost its sparkle for me since the loss of both my soulmate, David, and many of our respective family members. I still embrace the religious significance, but sorely miss our family getting together to enjoy this very special celebration.

Forever in our hearts, we miss you so much!

Love Natasha, Ben, Rebecca, Tom, Evie, Jacob, Lacey and Watson

Let your spirit be free. Love Jane x

Remembering Ben as we approach his first wedding anniversary and our first Christmas without him. We miss hearing his laughter and his positive approach to life. I feel so incredibly blessed to have so many special shared family memories.

Love youGranddad

My dear Mum loved Christmas – it was her favourite time of year, bless her..
My father-in-law Keith was born on 23rd December – remembering him on his special day.

In loving memory of our beautiful mum.
This will be our first Christmas without you. It was always such a happy time for us and you loved to get the family together for a big meal out go out dancing with dad.
Thank-you for always being there, supporting me and giving unconditional love. I never felt judged by you, and you always made me feel secure taking my own path in life.
We can't believe you are gone and will miss you forever.

Mum you always made Christmas special for us even when there was little money. You are the Angel on top of my tree.????

Jane was very well cared for at the hospice in her final few weeks. It's almost 8 years but she's still very much loved and missed. It's the anniversary of us losing our lovely Dad tomorrow to Covid. Brother Dave & I will be together and raising several glasses to him.

My Mum, loved Christmas and loved us all being together as a family. She is missed soooooo much xx

This will be our 5th Christmas without you, mam. Unlike the saying; it doesn’t get any easier. However, you will be spending Christmas with us, you’re always in our thoughts & we talk about you all the time. Miss & love you to the moon and back xxx
