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.
In loving memory of my beloved parents, who are now reunited.
Merry Christmas dad, always remember you drinking your whisky on Christmas day telling silly jokes and one of your great Christmas dinners. Miss you so much xxxx

Mum,
This will be the second Christmas without you and it doesn't get any easier. I heard someone say that you only miss someone when you think about them and I think about you every day.
I know you're watching over us.
Sending you lots of love

With love from Dave x
PAT, love you always. Thank you for your love. Miss you for ever sweetheart
Spending every Christmas with you since I was born, remembering it’s not what’s under the Christmas tree, it’s who's around it that matters.
We Love you always you’re little soldier Oliver and little princess Isabella.
Miss you grandpa x x x
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.
For my lovely Mum Helen, you loved Christmas, and we all miss you, especially at this time of year. This will be the third Christmas you won't be with us, and it would have been your first as a Great-Grandma. May your light shine as bright on the tree as our love for you still shines. Love you always xx
Happy Christmas grandad & uncle George, this Christmas without you has been hard. Miss you so much, love you and forever thinking of you both x
My grandma collected on behalf of St Barnabas for many years prior to her sad passing. I spent the majority of my Christmas’s with her, sharing the festive day which normally ended with some games of scrabble, of course, she always won! In honour of all the work she did to help St Barnabas, I want to carry on her legacy by supporting this charity which was very close to her heart.
You’re not here anymore, where you have always been before. Our first Christmas apart but we’re together in my heart.
Your love remains it keeps me going, your faith and bravery it kept me knowing, that you were a gift my whole life through, a mother so loved ,that loved me too. Forever a light and forever my reason to keep going on whatever the season. Merry Christmas moom. Love your sweet pea. Xxx
We had the most amazing mum and dad who taught us how to live well and how to love. It has been hard learning to live without them them but we carry them in our hearts and they walk alongside us still.
With love and gratitude to mum and dad and to all who care and support those at the end of their lives; Pam, Phil and Gill xx
Happy Christmas to my man in a million.
Love and miss you forever darling
Love and hugs Carol xxxxxx
