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.
Miss you all and you are always in my thoughts.
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.
I miss you everyday. You were a big part of my life. You guided me unwaveringly. My memories of you are filled with joy. I will be remembering you this Christmas and always. Love from your little tinker xxx
Pete and Dave,
Two much loved brothers and an uncle to Charlie and Erin. You are both sadly missed and taken far too soon. You were both amazing brothers and as you left, a little piece of my heart left with you. You are both together now and pain free. I’m sure you look down over the girls with pride.
Love you lots
Sue, Joe, Charlie and Erin x
Always in my thoughts at this time of year xx
In memory of a beloved wife who was taken far too young
Adam always enjoyed Christmas, decorating the tree, making mince pies and the Christmas Pudding.
Christmas is not, and never will be same without him here to share it with.
You are missed more each day.
Always going to football with my Dad on Boxing day
Miss you both x
She was a beautiful person and is with the angels and her loved ones that went before her.
You’re still the absolute light of our life and we’ll enjoy our Christmas with you firmly in our heart.
We love you son with all of our heart.

This is our second Christmas without you Natty. We didn't acknowledge the holiday through pain without you last year, but this year we welcome the festivities back into our home with you very much front and centre of our minds.
It's important for us to pay respect to the time of year that you loved the most and we hope that in whichever way you can, you join us in spirit and guide us in love.
We miss you dearly Natty, you know that and you are the first and last thought of us on any day.
Mummy and Daddy are your best friends, Jack and Finlay are your brothers.
You are perfect son, we love you with all our hearts.
You are everything. X
This is the 10th Christmas without you.
Another year too of you not playing Father Christmas for the playgroup.
All the family will be thinking of you. Xx
Our first Christmas without Dad and what would have been his 80th Birthday on Boxing Day.
