To Dad, my hero,
I think of you and miss you every single day. There is a dad shaped hole in my heart that feels more prominent at this time of year.
This light is dedicated to you. May it shine as bright as your smile.
Merry Christmas.
Love you always

For my dearest Auntie Bett. A year has passed and it seems like only yesterday. Those last weeks were made bearable by the love and care of the wonderful hospice. What I'd give just to have a hug again. I miss her more than words.
Always in our hearts
Rest in peace my guardian angels and let perpetual light shine on you both
We all love and miss more each day Betty,Angela, Stephen and Shaun, Holly, Grace and Sam Grandchildren Great Grandchildren Daughter in law Nicola xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will miss your mince pies, scotch eggs and sausage rolls this year. Not a second goes by that we don’t think of you, we love you dearly
In my bungalow there is a space
Where there’s an empty chair
Where my husband Jim used to sit
But he is no longer there.
I miss you Jim.

Happy Christmas Dad – our first one without you. I'll be sure to have a few pints on your behalf!
My dear Dad who passed away due to Cancer on the 19th November 2020. How I wish you were still here Dad you will always be in my thoughts x
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.
My grandmother sadly passed away last week. I would like to light this candle in memory of her as its our first Christmas without her.

Christmas is a really difficult time of year for me. It really is a time for family and with you both gone, it is just not the same.
I love and miss you both so much.

Fly, fly, little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light
