My favourite Christmas memory was when Kev was unexpectedly discharged from hospital just in time to spend Christmas with his family. We weren't to know that it would be the last Christmas we would share together. The best present we could ever have wished for.
Mum,
Missing you always not just at Christmas.
Love you forever ???? xxx
To our special very dearly missed Mum Bunty and Dad Albie Brooks.
We love you always, Angels keep you safe to watch over us all xxxx
Merry Christmas Dad.
I love you and miss you so much.
Love always,
Jen

Scott, you are the brightest star I know and I hope you're shining bright in Heaven. Love you to the stars and back love from your little sister Fifi xx
Happy Christmas Mum, absolutely miss you everyday and remember so many amazing Christmases. You always got up early with us, made such a fuss of doing a three course dinner and buffet tea. We had fab walks in the park with sky dancers and chocolate for breakfast. Happy blooming christmas from the father christmas animation, homeward bound 3 with the dogs that made us cry. The year santa wrote his own letter to us. love and miss you mum đ
The strongest, bravest, most whole-hearted little boy.

My wonderful brother, my best friend from the day you were born.

Both loved and missed by all the family.
Dad, our first Christmas without you, he was never one for Christmas but always enjoyed life to the full and was a true light in all our lives and all those who met him. We miss him and love him so much.
My first Christmas without a hug and smile from you will be difficult but I will remember how lucky I have been to call you âMumâ for so many years and how wonderful it was to be your son.
Our first Christmas without you Dad, so very missed every day and always with so much love from us all xxx
In memory of my lovely mum at Christmas, missed so very much every day.
Always missed. Helen & Mum xx
Dad passed away in March this year and Christmas just won't be the same this year. Every Christmas he would send a lovely card to all of his Grandchildren and on the back of the envelope he would always put a smiley face sticker. Every birthday he would do the same. The kids would always look forward to the cards and sticker on the back. He did this for many many years. At his funeral we stuck a smiley face sticker on his coffin. He would have laughed his unmistakable laugh at this as he had a great sense of humour. We love and miss you dearly Dad /Grandad and now Great Grandad xxx
As another Christmas without you passes, we remember the good times and hope we make you proud everyday xxxx
We will never forget you mummy xx
Love Mitchell, Peggy and Gavin .
Miss you all so much xxxx
Remembering Nan and Dad and loved ones we have lost. Christmas is the time to remember and reminisce of those special times spent together. Precious times and reminders to spend time making precious memories with loved ones here.
My father who art in heaven..
A prayer couldnt save you from what came,
Although now I whisper your name,
Every day and every night
It's a hug I need, and to hold you tight.
On Christmas day, I will set your place, and pour your drink, play your games, then shut my eyes to see your face.
Merry Xmas dad, your presence will always be felt. X
We love you forever Nana, love Sam & Lily, Jack, Poppy, Max, Kit & Wilf xxxxxxxx
In loving memory of my dear wife, Pam.. A wonderful Wife, Mother and Grandmother and a friend to so many.
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 (Grandadâs wife) unfortunately she passed when I was a baby so I didnât 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 Bridgetâs. 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 thatâs a fact. We miss her everyday.
And finally we are remembering my Granny Flynn (Auntie Bridgetâs sister and my Mums Granny) she too passed when I was baby so I donât 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, Iâm 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 âa ladyâ and she was a huge part of my mumâs growing up, almost everyday they would see her, she was like a âsecond mumâ. It just shows how treasured she was.
Miss you both every day x
My mum volunteered at St Barnabas and was a nurse for 45 years. She sadly lost her battle with Motor Neurone Disease, this September, after only a few months since diagnosis. She is now at peace and back with her parents, my grandparents xx
