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.
Your light is shining forever
Remember you every day. Miss you so much. Love you forever. Love Ailsa xxx
Life is fragile, my love of you is forever
To our beautiful Mum and Nanny, you are in our thoughts and our hearts every day. We miss you dearly, love always from your daughters and grandchildren xxxx
A wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, forever missed
Dad,
Missing and loving you more than yesterday but less than tomorrow. Endless love sent to the stars, Happy heavenly Christmas.

I am paying tribute to Em's almost 55 years of devotion to her children and me, whatever the circumstances, wherever we were. Tim Beath.

Missing my beautiful mum and thinking of all our special Christmas memories xx love you forever mum xxxx
Remembering Margaret and Vince Doran, my partner Angela’s Mum and Dad, in her first Christmas without both of them
You are all my beautiful shining stars that brighten the night skies, I love you all, miss you all and hope that you are all reunited with all our lost loved ones xxx
We will be thinking of you as always this Christmas. It is the first Christmas that our family is back together in your old house, so it will bring back so many happy memories. You will both be missed, especially Grandad’s jokes and Grandma’s mince pies and trifle!
Lots of love,
Hannah, Lucy, Ian and Ruth xxx
My mum was a very special lady who lived her last months with the same peace and humour which had accompanied her throughout her life. I miss her every day and I know Christmas will be a little less merry without her, but I am lucky to have many very happy memories which keep her with me always.
Thinking of you both everyday, you are now reunited. We love you both so much, love Gillian, David, Helen, Craig, Laura, Alice, Hannah, Alex, Harry xxxx
3 of the most important people within our family. We are all very much still lost without you all. Keep looking down and keeping us all safe. Xxxxxx
A treasured memory of my Sister, myself and her son singing ‘Lily the pink’ at the top of our voices. We were laughing and lost in the moment. This happened a week before Jo was sedated and passed away. Xxxx
Parents JJ and Kathleen were the most amazing parents, Grandparents and in laws you could wish for. Always with us xxx
In memory of a beautiful Grandma, mother, and wife. I’ll always remember Christmas and Boxing Day with you.
Oh Rod I miss you more than ever now, but it helps to know you are free from pain now and breathing with ease,
I love you always and forever ❤️????xx
Happy Christmas miss you everyday, all our love Ellen & William
Loved and missed very much every day by us all.xx
