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.
Thinking of our special Dad and Grandad with all our love at Christmastime. We miss you so much. Xxxx

I am immeasurably lucky to have loved him and to have been loved by him for nearly four decades.
This will be our first Christmas without you, it makes me sad that I will never have another hug that squeezes the life out of me again, all I can hope is that your in a better place with no more pain.
I love you Dad

My darlings,
Many a wonderful Christmas spent at yours watching my children and nephews opening their magnificent presents and then playing with the boxes. Preparing and eating a magnificent meal washed down with a bottle or two of wine.
I love and miss you both so much xxxx
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
Loved and remembered always xxx
This will be the 1st Christmas without Paul, can't imagine it without it. Miss you Paul.

Almost two years since you had to leave us. Life has never been the same since.
I am forever heartbroken and remain devastated that you are no longer here.
Your absence affects everything.
I love you so very much.
I hope you see how missed you are xxxxx
Mum lived all her life in Nettleham and did flower sales in support of St Barnabas. She passed away at the hospice in January 2022. She lived Christmas and her family and is sorely missed.
So many memories of more than 60 Christmases together Sadly missed
Thinking of you all this Christmas time and always.
I hope you are all together shining your stars down on us
Love and miss you
