Missing you more everyday.
Always on my mind and in my heart.
Christmas was your favourite time of year. You loved everything about it writing cards buying and wrapping gifts. There is always a place at my table for you xxxx

Lovely kind gentleman. He worked so hard for his family all his life and is greatly missed by us all.

This is the 10th Christmas without you.
Another year too of you not playing Father Christmas for the playgroup.
All the family will be thinking of you. Xx

Missing you at Christmas Popolart. (Roy Marslsnd)
Love Little 'un xx

To my wonderful Dad, your smile always lit up any room you walked in to. I won't ever forget our fun holidays together and all the adventures we had. You always managed to calm me when I shared my worries and fears with you. You were the eternal optimist and I can still hear your voice in my heart giving me advice when ever I'm troubled. I love you so much dad and still miss you everyday. Your memory remains in my heart until we are together again xxxx

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.

My dad died last year at the age of 57 from motor neurone disease and St Barnabas were amazing providing support throughout.
Missed every single day and will be loved forever, the most wonderful dad & husband xxx

Nanna,
My first Christmas without you here.
Another massive void was left in my life, the day you returned to Grandad and Mum's arms, but I was fortunate to have you by my side for so long. Forever grateful for the love and happy memories you left behind. I will hold onto those, until we meet again my beautiful Nanna.
I love and miss you xxx

Always remembered

My dad, who died of covid in November 2020. We all miss you. Love always Robert, Jeanette, Nigel and Niki xxxxx

Remembering my dad, who loved Christmas and lef5 us far too soon

Steve lit up our lives with his love of life and laughter. Forever in our hearts and missed more each day. All my love always, Wendy xx

A wonderful husband who was taken far too soon very suddenly. Much loved and missed.

My dad was my best friend, always smiling no matter what. At Christmas even when bedbound because of his cancer he would still be there with his raindeer antlers and flashing red nose.

During my daughter’s life we would often attend events to raise money for St Barnabas not thinking that one day at age 30 she would receive amazing care from the hospice nurses. We miss her everyday but especially at Christmas when we all get together.

To mum …miss you
Love
Nic xx

Thank-you mum for making all of my Christmas Days so lovely. Nearly one year without you and things will never be the same but I will always do my best to make Christmas special. I've even made a cake this year! I love you, I know you are there, Happy Christmas xxx

A treasured memory of my Sister, myself and her son singing ‘Lily the pink’ at the top of our voices. We were laughing and lost in the moment. This happened a week before Jo was sedated and passed away. Xxxx

Parents JJ and Kathleen were the most amazing parents, Grandparents and in laws you could wish for. Always with us xxx

A beautiful Wife Mother Daughter and Oma who is greatly missed. Our life will never be the same without you
