They all went too soon and leaving a hole in our lives but also a huge amount of happy memories. The pain we feel at their loss represents the huge love we have for them.

We remember them frequently: with a smile, a tale retold, a song they loved, a phrase they used and how they made our lives richer. They may not be here in body but they remain with us in our hearts x

Always in my thoughts at this time of year xx

Dad always liked to dismiss Christmas but secretly we all knew he enjoyed it. Always there. Always involved in the day itself from carrying a bin bag collecting all the wrapping paper to washing the pots. Happy Christmas Dad x

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

Broken hearted without you. Love and miss you. All my love Jill

To my dearly missed mum & dad, you are always in our thoughts. We wish you had more time with us, to watch our boys grow. But I know you are watching from up above. All our love Emma, Andrew, James & Luke
Craig, Janien & Oscar xxx

Love and miss you so much, always in my thoughts and heart.
Love you forever. Maureenxx

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.

Another Christmas without you, will love and miss you always

Miss you both so much x

I love and miss you at Christmas and every day my darling. Forever yours, Wilfie xxx

Merry Christmas mum I miss you so so much more than ever forever love,
your little miss sunshine ❤️ ❤️

Dear Robert
You were taken from us so unexpectedly and we miss you dreadfully. Christmas will be very difficult without you darling xxxx

Miss you more than words can say. We love you and should have told you more x

When you left us, you did the most amazing thing. You gave life and sight to others. You were always so kind and thoughtful and this was reflected in your gift, even after you had gone. I hope the recipients are happy, healthy and are loved. Perhaps one day we will hear from them but until then, know that we are proud to call you our mum. Love you my mummy x

Always Missed
Forever in My Heart xxxxxx
