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.

To the best mum / nanny, dad / grandad we could of loved. You are missed every minute of the day especially at Christmas time so we every year we attend the light procession in honour of how great you both were xx lots of love always, Hayley, callum, Joshua, Raymond and Daniel xxxxx

I am immeasurably lucky to have loved him and to have been loved by him for nearly four decades.

We shared so many happy, family Christmas's and this first one without you here is going to be so hard. I will miss your "Ho Ho Ho"s and you singing along with all the Christmas songs as we put up the tree and decorations together but I know you'll be here with me as you live on in my heart, thoughts and memories every day and I will still wake up on Christmas morning and say to you "Merry Christmas, I love you" as I have always done, I miss you so much and will love you always xxx Lee xxx

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

My dad would dress up as santa for my son and try and surprise him but my son always knew it was him. He guessed every time. My hero

In memory of my beautiful mum Denise Fenn
Forget me not as time goes by,
For you can find me in the sky.
Forget me not for we’re apart,
For you carry me within your heart.
Forget me not although I’m gone,
For my memory will always live on.
Instead, remember me in every special way,
Keep me close to your heart
We’ll meet again one day xxx
Loved & Missed every day … love you Mam xxxx
