Remembering my Dad on my first Christmas without him.

Grandad,
You are so very missed.
Our lives are not the same.
We will forever cherish memories of you.
Until we meet again.
All our love forever.

Dear Janet. Always in our thoughts and prayers and never forgotten.
Lots of love Tony, Fiona, Tracy and Clare, plus your grandchildren.xxxxxx

Daniel, Not having you with us all to celebrate Christmas is not something we will ever get use to. This year our first without you will be so hard however Ethan, Harper and I will try to smile and fill it full of laughter like you would have done. Your sense of humour is what got us all through the hardest of times. We will all use this same outlook on life at Christmas to make it as special as it can be. You will be in our thoughts and in all that we do xx You are so missed, yet still loved so much xx

St Barnabes allowed us all as a family to have that quality time. The children were able to spend time with their Dad in a comfortable and safe setting. The staff went above and beyond for us all and embraced Dans wicked sense of humour. They made him feel safe and cared for him with such compassion and dignity. We were all looked after nothing was ever too much trouble. The most important thing they did was allowed us to have some extra time and memories.

Having a light shine in honour of Dan warms our hearts and gives us some comfort.

It was never goodbye but see you soon
Every day is a Dan day
Forever loved

Always Vicky, Ethan and Harper xx

Every

Knowing we can give back to them in this way helps us all feel we are doing something when a Thank you just isn’t enough for our gratitude.

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

I think of Rod every day. But at this time of year it is so much harder, I’ll love him forever xx

whenever i would see uncle jimmy at my nan’s house at christmas he’d always play any game i wanted, i had this toy snake and a stuart little teddy and he’d sit with me and go along with any game i said. it always makes me think of him when i see my nephews now play with those toys.

Always in our thoughts two wonderful parents.

Memories of a wonderful lady who left us too early.
We think of and miss your laughter every day.
Su & windy.

We miss you today and every day x

Miss you Mummy.
Lots of love, Ed, Georgie & Soph Xxxx

With love at Christmas and always Grandad.
Your always in our hearts
All our Love
