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

We always knew losing you would be heartbreaking but never imagined such emptiness and we miss you so much. So many memories and I miss our chats, company and sense of humour. A candle is constantly burning for you and always in be in our hearts. I hope one day we can meet again but until then say hi to Grandad/Dad, David, Auntie Margaret and all the animals. Love you always, Louise, Carol, Scott, Sam, Mike, Jack and Richard xxx

My first Christmas without my
much-loved Mum. Thought of and missed every minute of every day.

Miss you every day Mum.
Christmas was your favourite time of year, because it brought your family together who meant everything to you.
Happy Christmas Mum, love you lots xxx

Always on my mind Jamesy, forever in my heart, love Mum xxxx

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 remembered as the life and soul of a family gathering, Dad never refused a double pudding portion, especially at Christmas and if Granny had made it. Always remembered x

In my bungalow there is a space
Where there’s an empty chair
Where my husband Jim used to sit

Being the best mummy, wife, sister, aunty, daughter and friend there ever was. Also wandering a hotel in a thong helped.
