Shine bright Mum, love and miss you so much. Never forgotten ❤️

So many special memories of such an amazing Mum xx

We all miss you dearly mum, wife and grandma.
You was our, still are the light in the family.
You always put a smile on our faces.
We are remembering that fun times we had with you.
We love you so so much!
We know you are always with us xxxx

As you mentioned, when the fireworks go off across the season we will continue to think of you and your forever spirit (living on in us) remembering silly moments including you allowing swings on beams inside!

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

Thank you for taking Pauline into your care during her dying days.
Life had been so difficult and it was so pleasing to see you take care at such a difficult time

Sending love to you all, Merry Christmas. Wish we were all around the table again, together xxxx

My Dad was the most brilliant man. Master goldsmith and silversmith, Freeman of the City of London. He was kind, courageous and utterly charming. He fought for the causes that would affect generations below him and gave so much of himself to our local community.
I miss him with all my heart, every day.

Miss you every day Mum . Life isn’t the same without you . Donna xxx

Happy Heavenly Christmas Mum. The best Christmas present ever, would be to see you again .
Love and miss you every day.
Lots of love always, Jill, Lee, Ryan and Ben xxxxx

Our first Christmas without Mum and it will feel very empty. Mum was always the life and soul of any gathering at Christmas and throughout the year and will be hugely missed. We will especially miss her delicious Christmas pudding! I’ll be raising a glass to Mum and hope she’ll be doing the same along with all her friends & family. Love always xxx

Always remembered

I miss my beautiful daughter Lesley everyday, and always donate to Light up a Light and raise funds by holding a coffee morning. Lesley always enjoyed her weekly trips to St. Barnabas to socialise with other people in a similar position to herself. Her last few days were spent in St. Barnabas where she had tender loving care. My only child she left met the best legacy of all – a wonderful grandaughter and grandson. I now have 4 great grandchildren and I know Lesley would be so proud of them all. xxxxx

Stuart, three years on and missing you as much as the first day, always remembered and much loved x

Have a Merry Christmas to you all, keep safe and be kind to each.

My dad was the most kindest amazing man anyone could ever know, I have so many beautiful memories of him and miss him terribly, he is always in my thoughts and I will forever love him, happy Christmas daddy love always Sharon xx

A very brave mum, who always made Christmas special

Forever in our hearts

We miss you both dreadfully. Although we are happy you are both back together again. I think of you both every day and I’m so grateful I was there for you both. Keep shining that light down for me. Until we meet again we love you ❤️

Both are remembered with love by Sara’s son, brother and mother.xx

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.

With love at Christmas and always Grandad.
Your always in our hearts
All our Love
Lucy and family and
Jake and family x x

Mum, each day is a little darker without you so I hope this brings a little light. I hope we are making you proud. We vow to always stick together even though nothing is the same. Sometimes it feels as though you're here with us, just a little out of reach. Some days we could do with your honest (and probably brutal) advice, to make us see the right path. We will continue to work hard every day and support each other as you taught us.
Wish you were here ❤️
Merry Christmas Mum/Nanny/Maria
