Lovely, irreverent, Liz

Beautiful parents and sister – always in our thoughts.

This light is dedicated to my beloved husband Martin Lumb who passed in February this year. The hospice looked after my husband in his last few days and supported Martin and I through the palliative care stages . They are the most wonderful people and we couldn’t have done it without their support.
Martin passed with dignity and peace and that meant the world to his whole family.
Miss you every day my darling and will be thinking of you this Christmas as we spend time together as a family without you, you will be in all our hearts and thoughts. Will love you forever my darling .

We miss you at the dinner table every Christmas. We miss your smile and presence, the way you adored the kids and your white jumpers.

We miss you so much, especially mum.

My Dad passed away in 1997. He was an incredible man and a complete inspiration as he was also diabetic since he was 11. This never stopped him doing anything. He was a Scout leader for many years! Still miss him and love him loads. ❤️

WE MISS YOU STEVE X LOVE ALWAYS XXX

His wife and children and grandchildren miss him so much. He was so important in all our lives.

This lady was a student of mine and I remember her coming to Class along with several of her neighbours in Bailgate. Philly always had a smile on her face. I will always remember her fondly.

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.

My husband and I remember our much loved parents with great love always and especially at Christmas. This year we have lost 2 special people from our extended families, whose loss has been hard especially more poignant in these extraordinary times, but still missing from our lives.
My husband and I and a close friend always take part in the light a light with love and respect for everyone’s loved ones and will do so this year albeit virtually ❤️

Christmas was Mum’s favourite time of year, when she was more excited than even the grandchildren! Having lost Mum earlier this year, Christmas is going to be a really difficult time where her absence is felt so greatly. We love and miss you so much Mum.

Constantly loved, forever remembered. Xx

All very special people, loved and missed every day, especially at Christmas.
