For my Mum who I miss x

For my lovely Mum Helen, you loved Christmas, and we all miss you, especially at this time of year. This will be the third Christmas you won't be with us, and it would have been your first as a Great-Grandma. May your light shine as bright on the tree as our love for you still shines. Love you always xx

Always in our hearts

Roy spent many happy years on his boat moored at Brayford Pool.
We remember him fondly as a charming and kind man, much missed by his family and friends.

Those we love dont go away they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard but always near, still loved still missed and very dear.

Love you always and miss you millions ????

Thinking of you at Christmas and always.

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

Merry heavenly Christmas.
Love and miss you.
Lots of love

My heart is broken Mum. I miss you so much and cannot imagine a future without you in it. You are so precious and the pivotal point of our family. It’s not fair that you had to go so soon.
We love you so much.
Your forever loving daughter,
Michelle xxxxx

Passed away at St Barnabas Hospice Saturday 17th December 2022. Forever 67. Mum, grandma, wife, mother in law, daughter, sister, friend.

To Mum & Dad
I'll always feel you close to me
and though you're far from sight,
I'll search for you among
the stars that shine on Christmas night.
Love and miss you both loads.

Grandma and Grandad Hodgson missed everyday and in our thoughts.

Tony
Missing you every day hard to be without you after being in my life for 65 years, married for 55 years and raising two great sons.
It’ll be hard this Christmas without you Tony.
I sang for you in the Community Choir on Tuesday night, 21 November, every word remembering our life together.
All My Love Gill xx

The memory of your beautiful smile my darling will light up my Christmas.

Mum, we love and miss you so much. We talk about you all the time. You spent your life thinking and caring for us and others and we thank St Barnabas for taking care of you when you needed it. We will come and visit the tree of life to see your light shining brightly just like you lighted up our life. Love you always, Jeremy, Sarah, Easton and Ebonie xxxxxxxxxx
