Thinking of you always , love to you all . I hope you’re now re united.

In memory of Mum, 25 years on, I remember you sitting in your fluffy 'click-clack' slippers watching us open our presents, from our pillowcases, then on to a breakfast of ham and eggs… passing those traditions on to the grandchildren, you never got to meet … and thanks to the care at St B, never forgotten always loved. XXX

All our memories are and will be forever in my heart.

Merry heavenly Christmas.
Love and miss you.
Lots of love
Rach xx

Family is the most precious thing in life. We miss you all dearly.

Always in my heart xx

My message to Jim:
Though I miss you everyday,
We will never truly part.
For part of you lives on with me,
Forever in my heart.

A wonderful husband who was taken far too soon very suddenly. Much loved and missed.

My Mum, loved Christmas and loved us all being together as a family. She is missed soooooo much xx

Happy Christmas Mum

To Dad/Grandad Timmy
You loved Christmas with your musical socks and singing Christmas gadgets.
A day doesn’t go by without thinking of you and your jovial sense of humour.
Love you always xx

As parents they were always there for us and have taught us so much. As we grow older and now have Grand children of our own we understand how important the love of family is and appreciate all their love for us, everyone deserves to be always lived and remembered, even they are no longer here in the living world! Xx

Sending you love and prayers this Christmas, Dad x x x

THINKING OF YOU BOTH THIS CHRISTMAS TIME AND EVERY OTHER DAY WHEREVER YOU BOTH MAY BE LOVE ALWAY
FROM ALL THE FAMILY XXXXXX

Merry Christmas Mum and Daniel. Where ever you are, I hope you're together x

Our first Christmas without you will be so difficult but we know you’ll be watching x

For Gary, the biggest kid at Christmas so many brilliant memories of Christmas together. Loved and missed every day but more than ever at Christmas. Special kisses for grandad from Brooke, Blake, Sebastian and Elody xxxxx

You were always of ray of light. Wish you were still here living your life and bringing fun and joy where ever you want. Until I see you again, keeping having that party for for one. Love you always xxx

Clive was with you for a short time in 2013 when he became unexpectedly ill. He was far from home but you made him feel safe, loved & cared for & looked after us so well at the end of his life – thank you

We are remembering my Grandad. An amazing trombone player in his day as well as a terrifically talented joiner. My Grandad was like a built in best friend. So funny, his smile and laugh just lit up the entire room. And I would always feel safe and secure whenever he was near, he just had a calming presence. He always reassured you that you would be fine and give you a big squeeze and you would instantly feel better. My grandad was so determined, this showed when he had a stroke when I was younger and he had to learn how to read, write and speak again and he did. He passed away two years ago now from falling on a rainy day and after all he had achieved recovering from those traumas, it left such a hole in our lives for him to be suddenly taken when he was so healthy. Our lives are definitely different without him as he was such a light and a joy. Everyone who met him says the same, he was just a force of nature. The best husband, father and grandad in the world.
We are also remembering my Granny (Grandad’s wife) unfortunately she passed when I was a baby so I didn’t get much time with her, which really upsets me but when I hear all the wonderful and also funny stories about her I truly feel like I know her so well. She was so kind, so creative, also a force of nature. She was very determined, she ran a restaurant whilst taking care of her family and just had so many feathers to her cap! She had an eye for detail. I wish I could have spent years on end with her, going around antique shops which she so dearly loved. She was a treasured wife, mother and Granny.
We are also remembering my Auntie Bridget. When my granny passed away Auntie Bridget sort of took on the role of Granny duties. And to this day , I can say she truly shaped who I am. She was so kind, so delicate, always fair. Auntie Bridget loved church and keeping her rosary beads close to her (which is something I like to do now because of her), everything in her home was perfect and beautiful. Some of the best memories of my childhood are school holidays at my Auntie Bridget’s. And walking through her front door and getting a whiff of her homemade chicken soup that she was cooking. Everyone who knew her, held a special place in their hearts for Auntie Bridget and that’s a fact. We miss her everyday.

And finally we are remembering my Granny Flynn (Auntie Bridget’s sister and my Mums Granny) she too passed when I was baby so I don’t have any memories with her and I so wish I did because of the stories I hear she was such a kind and wonderful person to know. I have one picture of her holding me when I was just born, I’m asleep in her lap and she is looking down at me just like an angel and she is so very gently holding my tiny hand with the tips of her fingers, the picture is so beautiful and special because although I never knew her that picture shows how much she loved me and how many memories we would have made together , the memories would have been wonderful. My mum describes her as so elegant and very much “a lady” and she was a huge part of my mum’s growing up, almost everyday they would see her, she was like a “second mum”. It just shows how treasured she was.

Husband, Dad and Grandad loved and remembered every day xxxx

You take with you the love of your beautiful wife Carol and the rest of your loving family
We will all be with you one day dancing a merry tune to that guitar
Sleep tight you wonderful man
