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.
Always in our hearts ♥️ forever missed. Never forgotten.
Miss you Mam
Love you
Sandra and Rod
We miss you so much and love you xx
Laura was the queen of Christmas, she would always be in the festive spirit super early and her house was like a grotto. I have many fond memories of seeing Laura just before Christmas, laughing, being silly, reminiscing and having a lovely time. I miss her everyday.
Pop/Dad and Mother, Granny and Grandad,
Thank you for everything. We still miss you.
Love you forever,
Phillip, Ann, Emma and Tori

My brother was 30minutes old when I first saw him and 67 when I last saw him he left us suddenly in May this year. I loved him from the moment I first saw him ,he was my constant companion throughout our childhood our Christmases were full of fun we did not have much and that didn’t matter ,we always remembered having to put the oranges from our Christmas stockings back on the fruit bowl and never let our Mother forget it how we laughed .God bless bro xx

You were always there for our family, in good times and in bad. We shared so many good times together…..New Year dances in Newark big family Christmas Days and holidays. You are thought of every day and we often talk about the times we spent together, which we will hold in our hearts forever.
