This was my husband’s most favourite time of the year. He loved all things shiny and glittery and would decorate the house with as much as he could get away with. This is our first year without him. ????
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

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.

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.
Tony was the one that would light up your life with his smile and sense of humour. Christmas was such a happy time of year especially with him in our lives. Shine bright my darling on the tree of life. Forever loved and missed. 😘 xxxxxxx
Mum loved Christmas, the tree, the lights, the food, the presents and the time spent with family. Her tree was always up as early as she thought she could get away with, even if she was coming to spend Christmas with us and wouldn't really be there to see it! On Christmas day she was the biggest kid of all and we would wrap up any amount of random things just because she loved to open presents, however daft they may be. Christmas is not the same without her.
A light dedication for our wonderful Mum who always shone the brightest at Christmas. She was the best Mum and Grandma who has started traditions that we will continue. We love and miss you to the moon , Donna, Lisa, Laura and families xxx
Christmas will never be the same, but we have lots of memories to cherish and also lots more to make.
You are a light in my life still. I will always be grateful for the little time we had here. Love always, Joanna xxx
