I lost my dad 10 years ago suddenly, but my mum we lost in January 2020 after her 2 year battle with cancer, so last Christmas was our last, she was very poorly at this time but we treasured every moment we had with her.
A wonderful lady, with a warm smile and a wicked sense of humour. Only knew her for a short time but fond memories and a lasting respect and appreciation of her as a work colleague and friend.
First Christmas without you pops, we’ll raise a glass or two for you! Love and miss you so very much xxx
Forever in our hearts. Miss you so much mum. Xxx
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
Christmas has never been the same since losing you all. You are missed so very much. X
Missed Mum more this year than ever before. I became a Granny and would so loved her to have met baby Martha Melly.
There is never a day goes by without I think of you, miss you so much. You would be so proud of how amazing our children are and their families. I will always love you.xxx
Lovely kind gentleman. He worked so hard for his family all his life and is greatly missed by us all.
This is the 10th Christmas without you.
Another year too of you not playing Father Christmas for the playgroup.
All the family will be thinking of you. Xx
We spent many Christmases with dad lots of laughing, food and drink great memories.
This is our first Christmas without him

Dear Daddy, your golden voice will ring through the ages and your music will touch many more hearts to come. We miss you immensely and may your tenor voice be ringing out true and clear wherever you are. I love you Daddy.

Missing you every day hard to be without you after being in my life for 65 years, married for 55 years and raising two great sons.
It’ll be hard this Christmas without you Tony.
I sang for you in the Community Choir on Tuesday night, 21 November, every word remembering our life together.
All My Love Gill xx
With love this Christmas and always
So many Christmas memories of the biggest kid of them all. So loved, so missed xxx
Isobel loved Christmas time of year a fun time with the children. Always in our thoughts and remembered each and every day.
To a dear Dad, missing you more as time goes on but I carry you in my heart so I can take you with me wherever I go.
I saw these words and thought of you:
"I've not learned to live without you, perhaps I never will?
The truth of the matter is you are always with me still"
Always treasured and always loved xx
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.
A strength I'm still learning from. One I should have realised earlier than I did. Love you mum.
Forever loved and missed everyday Love Fiona xx
My beautiful Mum. Always with me.
Shine Bright Always…..love you xxx
In loving memory of Dad.
