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.

Missing you dad, big hugs and kisses to you and Buster. Love you both lots xxx

A wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, forever missed

In loving memory of Dad our 1st Christmas without him. xxx

Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

Dad/Pop and Mother,
Forever in our hearts and memories-thank you for everything.
Love from,
Ann, Emma, Tori and Phillip

Remembering my much loved and missed brother. David, at Christmas and all year round xxxx

JAYNE,
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE 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.

Dad,

In my heart everyday. Thank you for making me the person I am today. You are forever in all our hearts and forefront of our minds.

Lots of love from all the family.

The most amazing person ever an extra special mum grandma and matma. Will be missed always. Dedicated her life to family and also to teaching.

Miss you both so much every year. Celebrate Christmas with the angels
I shall raise a glass to you both
Loved and missed as always.

We will never forget you and miss you every second of every day xx

Happy heavenly Christmas Dad and Mum reunited together this year love and miss you xx

Dad always liked to dismiss Christmas but secretly we all knew he enjoyed it. Always there. Always involved in the day itself from carrying a bin bag collecting all the wrapping paper to washing the pots. Happy Christmas Dad x

My message to Jim:
Though I miss you everyday,
We will never truly part.
For part of you lives on with me,
Forever in my heart.
