Remembering you June at Christmastime.
Mum,
I can't express how much you are loved & missed daily. A shining star! I dedicate this light on the tree to your memory. ????
In loving memory of our Mum who loved Christmas, our first Christmas without you. Love you – 'all is calm, all is bright, sleep in heavenly peace' xxxx
A wonderful husband who was taken far too soon very suddenly. Much loved and missed.
My wife passed away over four years ago. She had dementia and later cancer. She is with me every day and missed by so many. She was looked after in her final seven weeks at home with help from St Barnabas.
Jeff was a family man in every sense of the word. He loved us all unconditionally. Jeff loved Christmas and every year would fill the house with all things festive. He is missed so much at this time of the year. Xx
Dad,
Thank you for everything your taught me and memories you created.
So glad you got to meet Zavier, I know your looking down protecting him.
Merry Christmas Dad. I miss you so much. Love you always xoxo

Both sadly missed and not forgotten.
My dad.
We lost suddenly.
He was loving, caring, protective of his girls and funny. He was a fantastic husband and grandad.
We miss you every single minute of the day.
You loved christmas and all the sparkle of the lights and getting excited with the kids new toys.
This light represents that sparkle you brought us all at christmas time.
With all our love dad. Merry Christmas
The Brightest Star
Together, we saw the whole of the moon. Thank you for the days.
Shining for the love of my life and my very best friend, so very desperately missed.
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.
Love and peace from all the family x
My darling Paul
Life goes on, you are missed and loved every day.
Happy heavenly Christmas darling
Always in my heart.
Louise xxxx
Always on our minds, we love and miss you Grandad,
lots of love from,
Rebecca, Katie, Rob and Alfie xxx
Remembering my dear Wife Carol with love .
