Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.
This is the first Christmas without you dad, we all miss you and love you so much!
Hope you have the best Christmas up there in heaven!
Lots of Love
Mum, Abi, Lois, Sam and Mia xxxxxx

Thank you to the fabulous hospice team for their care and support in my dad’s final weeks. Christmas is about love and you all show so much of the true meaning of Christmas.
Another Christmas without you both, yet not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. This time of year still doesn’t feel the same, but I reflect on every moment we got to share. The grief of your absence is strongest amidst the festive joy, yet it reminds me how fortunate I was to be so deeply loved.
Merry Christmas, Grandma & Grandad –
cheers to you with a Sherry or two!
I’ll light a candle in memory of you;
two loving hearts still guide me through.
All my love, forever and more –
I’ll see one day, waiting at Heaven’s door. ♥️
Our Beautiful Nanny, Loved and Missed so much Every day ❤️

Forever heartbroken. Taken far too soon. Christmas will never be the same again. You were the best Santa ever xx
Remembering and loving you forever Mum. May your light shine now and always.
I’m sure you can see what I’ve done to the garden and house this year. I can just hear you saying “How many holidays?” ????
You would have loved your new little granddaughter born almost 9 months to the day since you left us. She is such a little star and Rob and Hannah are great parents. You are always in my thoughts and I’ll never stop loving or missing you. ❤️
Wishing you were both with us all at Christmas, we will be playing some of your favourite songs thinking of you both.
