Christmas was always a special time between my Dad and I. Always big on traditions, we would go pick out a tree together, decorate it and the house whilst listening to Christmas music and eating mince pies!
This year marks 5 years since he passed away, and I have struggled to uphold these traditions the past 5 years, but I finally feel like I will be able to get back to them this year with the fond memories of Christmases past and smile knowing he would be happy that I can get back to enjoying a holiday that I have always loved.

Merry Christmas Dad. I love and miss you everyday. I hope that I do you proud with my Christmas tree choice!! 🙂 xxxx

Whilst Dad didn't use the hospice in his lifetime he had many relatives that did and he was a big supporter of St Barnabas being a local lad. After such a tough year he will be missed at Christmas and we think this is a lovely way to remember him.

Taken too soon at 21, Emelia was a bright star with a fantastic future. Much loved and greatly missed, cancer took her in 2021

Thinking of you all ways

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.

My beautiful mum who we lost to cancer in June 2020. Always remembered and loved, especially at Christmas, her favourite time of the year. Xxx

Always remember her birthday was the 21st December and we'd trim our tree on that day as children. Christmas remains a very special time for me, I married at Christmas and both of our children have birthdays near Christmas too. She is always missed. X

My brother Lee, the guy with the world's biggest smile. Our first christmas with out you. Shine bright x

I lost my dad 10 years ago suddenly, but my mum we lost in January 2020 after her 2 year battle with cancer, so last Christmas was our last, she was very poorly at this time but we treasured every moment we had with her.

You were always of ray of light. Wish you were still here living your life and bringing fun and joy where ever you want. Until I see you again, keeping having that party for for one. Love you always xxx

Will be remembered always as a great Dad and loving husband xx

Merry Christmas to you in heaven although you cannot be with us and there is an empty space at the table our hearts are always full with memories of you.
Christmas time a time to remember and reminis of times gone by, happy memories and full hearts keep you near.
