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.
My dear Mum, Dad, Val, Mick and Jo, We miss you all so much, especially at Christmas. We had some lovely Christmases together. We are truly blessed to have so many happy memories. One day we will all be together again. Polly and Colin xxx
Always on my mind Jamesy, forever in my heart, love Mum xxxx

In my bungalow there is a space
Where there’s an empty chair
Where my husband Jim used to sit
But he is no longer there.
I miss you Jim.

John absolutely loved Christmas. He loved nothing more than to decorate all of the inside and outside of our home with lights.We will miss you this Christmas and always.Lots of love Doreen Sharon and Loyd
Remembering a very special mum and dad in our hearts you will always stay and we think of you everyday. Christmas is a special time of year for families and you will be with us all this Christmas as your light shines on the Christmas tree. We shall put our Christmas tree up and put your special lights on and your grandchildren will do the same. As we decorate the tree we shall tell your great grandchildren how special you were and tell them stories of the happy Christmases we spent with you. As silent night plays I will shed a tear as I remember how you both peacefully left us and the light turned out, now I see your lights shinning on the Christmas tree and I look at them with a smile. Loved yesterday, today and tomorrow forever in our hearts. Julie, Daryll, Sean, Michelle and Mark xxxxx

Benjamin, you are in our hearts forever, we miss you so very very much so much more than words can ever say.
As another Christmas without Mum gets closer, we hold on to & cherish the memories we will keep forever in our hearts. Mum is in our thoughts everyday & on occasion that passes without her. The world became a different place without her. Forever in our hearts mum, miss you more then words could ever say.
I am supporting the light up your life campaign to support St Barnabas Hospice for the end of life care, support & dignity mum was able to receive & at the hospice. It gives me comfort to know mum was able to pass away peacefully in comfort & care of the nurses at the hospice.
Remembering you Mum with love at Christmas
Merry Christmas, with us always x
