I will always remember our Christmas just the 3 of us in the Cayman Islands and you falling off the boat at Stingray City

You were and still are and always will be the centre of my universe, my soul mate. I miss you every day and your Bah Humbug at Christmas xx

I miss you playing little jingles to wake us up on Christmas morning. I miss the smile on your face and excitement in yours eyes when you present us with Christmas stockings – that you STILL did for us all even as adults each year. I miss the strange/odd gifts you used to buy me that you thought I’d love! I miss seeing you dancing and singing to ‘rocking around the Christmas tree’ (usually in something red!) in the kitchen while we prepped and cooked Christmas dinner together… and so much more besides.

I regret that you never saw me happy with Russ who I met the year after you passed and I am saddened that you never got to hold your Grandchild Oakley. But you live on in all of us and Russ tells me he feels like he knows you as I speak of you so often and Oakley will feel the same in time I’m sure it – he already has a lot of love for ‘Nanny Bear’ who he kisses and cuddles often. I tell him he has to be a good boy as Nanny is always watching and checking in on him!

We miss you Mum, our sun moon and stars xxxxxx

Both lost to cancer and missed every day, but especially at Christmas

Barry was a lovely, kind and supportive friend. My husband and I miss him very much. We have many happy memories of our time together.

I hope you are both having an amazing time together. We all miss you so much. Lots and lots of love Robert, Nicola, Jake, Oliver and Emilia

I will always and forever hold you in my heart and mind.

Phil was the light in my life! My soul mate, best friend and much more! Phil was always willing to help anyone and is sadly missed by so many. Over the years with me he helped to raise thousands of pounds for many charities! He always found good in people and always had a welcoming smile for every one, a perfect welcoming host. Phil never had a bad word for anyone!

This is John's 7th heavenly Christmas and he is loved, remembered and missed very much by all of our family. Always in our thoughts and hearts xxx

Geoff was the centre of our family especially at Christmas and is very sadly missed every single day and at this special time of the year

Happy heavenly Christmas to my darling husband Rob.
I know your watching us everyday and I know you enjoy seeing our grandchildren growing up.
Love you so much Tinna Xxxxx

Chris – Although 8 years ago, not a day goes by when I don’t think of my mum. Far more than when she was with us – a lesson to be shared – hug your mum tight if you are still lucky enough to have her. My mum passed away aged 63. We knew her wishes and we were honored to support her decision in the sharing of her organs. Two people’s lives were saved that day, many more improved and that is the little light at the end of dark path of sadness. She lives on, somewhere. Her gift made sure those people’s families got to celebrate another year with their loved one, and for that I am immensely proud of her. Best mum, kind to the core. X

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and letting you know how loved and missed you are.

Sleep tight Dad, Night God Bless

To Kevin,

I’ve never met you, but want to say how wonderful your daughter is. There were times I didn’t think I would make it through the year, but she has saved me in more ways than she’ll ever know and I will be forever grateful.

You should be sooooo proud of her and I know she misses you so much.

Hopefully one day I’ll get to meet you and tell you how wonderful she is, how she has turned in to a beautifully funny and kind person, always thinking about others.

Dad, I don't know how to make the stuffing like you and grandad did so dinner can never be the same. Thank you for the years you kept opening the kitchen door, always at the wrong time, and rolling your eyes at my obsessive list checking. No one else can take that place. I miss you.

Dad/Grandad, we miss and love you. Happy Christmas, love from Chris, Michele and Elliot xxx

Diane, you were my best friend of 23 years, we laughed and cried through good times and bad times, so many shared memories together, I miss you. Happy Christmas, love Shell xxx

Dearest Sue, every year we have gone to the Christmas Tree at Lincoln Cathedral to light candles, first for Ted, then for Ted and Nick, now this year I will be going without you and adding your name. I am heartbroken and miss you so much, hope I am doing you proud. Love you for ever, Rachael xxx

Merry Christmas Mum, not a day goes by without us thinking about you

Wonderful memories of great times spent together. Adrenalin-fuelled planning, 'who' was coming and 'when'? Last minute shopping a certainty! The fraught stages of prep forgotten as the day filled with love, laughter, and good cheer. Remembered now with great love as that Christmas Table shrinks, albeit gradually.
