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.

Mum loved Lincoln Cathedral at night, especially at Christmas when it was surrounded by Christmas trees. To know that she is being remembered by having a light dedicated to her this Christmas makes it very special.

Missing you mum especially at this time of year. You was always so magical at Christmas and loved to celebrate Christmas with everyone.

Love you always and forever

Missing you both so much. Lots of love. X

Happy Christmas dad – Christmas wasn’t really your thing but you tolerated it for us :-). Miss you. Xxx

Let your light shine on, you are always in my heart.

To my husband I will love you always and forever ❤️ Xxx❤️

Always loved, never forgotten

Love Mum, Emma, Nic, Ruth, Dylan, Bethan, Max, Will, Garry and James

My Uncle Lew was 2nd dad and my favourite person. He used to call me that too, "his favourite". My Auntie Bett is my 2nd mum and is my real life Fairy God-mother. She's now in the Hospice, being nursed and looked after by the wonderful nurses. Uncle Lew will fetch her when she's ready and they'll be together again. I love them both so much and I dedicate my light to them. They've lit up my life for the last 41 years and will do forever and ever. I feel so blessed they loved me back.

You are dearly missed, may you forever rest in peace. We love you both

To Robin Merry Christmas my darling. Love you forever xxKxx

Missed every single day
Love from Lily

Our Warrior… you will be missed nearly as much as you are loved!
We will never forget you, you will live on through all of us! Xxx

To Grandma and Grandad,

For your first Christmas reunited, we miss you both everyday.

With all my love,
Nicki and Chris xxxx

Christmas with dad was always the best, endless laughs, endless unwrapping! Boxes in boxes in boxes in boxes!!! Who wraps a plug?!? And of course random presents in crackers! Miss you dad x

22 years today since we lost you Mam and 19 years next week for you, Dad.
Christmas is not the same without you.

We all love you and miss you xxxxxxx

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.

Remembering all the lovely Christmases we shared together as a family.
