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.
She was/is the guide to my path and the light to my walk with God.
We all love you and miss you so very much today,tomorrow, forever and always xxxxxx
In memory of both of our mums and dads. We miss you every day. Love always. Forever in our hearts. Love Anne & John xxxx
Christmas is never the same again after a loved one dies but you learn to be grateful for the happy memories and to look for the good in every day.
Dave and Karen, you are both loved so very much.
My first Christmas without you Mum. I do know though that you are still with me in your own way. We will always be together. Be at peace until we see each other again. Love, your little girl xxx

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.
Much love for all the lovely Christmases we spent as a couple and as a family.
Missed now and always,
