My mum said she didn't like Christmas much and its was a big fuss for one day. She loved shopping and buying gits for everyone though! She had a stash of presents from around April.

Paul – thanks for our beautiful 25 years

David – so glad you had kindness in your life

On this journey or the next, you’ll still be there walking beside me. I love you, I miss you, I’ll see you again brother

We always enjoyed our Christmas time together over the years and I miss him so much.

In loving memory of such a wonderful Dad x

Christmas wishes to my darling husband who made this time of year so joyful and happy. It is hard to face without you, Dougie. Love you loads. Xx

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.

Our beautiful Ann, you fill our hearts with love.
We think of you everyday you gave us such wonderful memories.
You taught us to open our hearts and care for people.
Your smile would light up a room and we still feel your arms around us keeping us safe.
You will always be our shining light and our rainbow through the storm.
We will carry you in our hearts forever.

Both loved and missed by all the family.

Much loved husband dad and gran gran greatly missed never forgotten Xx

To treat others as I would wish to be treated.

Always thinking of you Mum ❤

Christmas memories of a very special man. X

David was a much loved husband, father and grandad. He loved Christmas so is always especially missed at this time. Santa usually brought him a bottle of malt whisky so glasses will be raised in David's memory this Christmas.

Christmas with dad was always the best, endless laughs, endless unwrapping! Boxes in boxes in boxes in boxes!!! Who wraps a plug?!? And of course random presents in crackers! Miss you dad x

In memory of my sister Elizabeth who passed away after a brave fight against cancer, I love and miss you my darling peedie sister. Rest in Peace xxxxxxx

2 years on from losing you and missing you so much that words are not enough. Our lives are so much poorer without you. You loved Christmas so much as it was a time our children and grandchildren were altogether and the inevitable empty chair at the table now is such a brutal reminder you are no longer with us. Rest in peace my love. Your beloved wife Di xxxx

Missing you both so much. Lots of love. X

Dad 18 months has past without you. As Christmas creeps up there is a empty feeling and it isn’t the same because you are gone. You are so missed every single say and so loved. You didn’t deserve to go. Until we meet again. I love you so much, shine bright xxxxxxx
