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. ❤️
You’ll always be home with us at Christmas. Miss you dad.
I choose not to lose my mum, and instead gain an angel, in my mind my heart, and my life she is still completely present to this day and as wise, companionate and stubborn as ever.
Love and miss you mum, Nannie
Dad,you will be forever in my thoughts, miss you. XXX
Still love and miss you Darling. Always thinking of you xxxx
Remembering my beautiful wife and best friend, Kerry.

Always in our thoughts.
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.
Merry Christmas dad, I love and miss you everyday.
Graham will always be missed by the whole family especially by his 2 grandsons.
Always remembered
Miss you and love you always xx
Mum loved Christmas, the tree, the lights, the food, the presents and the time spent with family. Her tree was always up as early as she thought she could get away with, even if she was coming to spend Christmas with us and wouldn't really be there to see it! On Christmas day she was the biggest kid of all and we would wrap up any amount of random things just because she loved to open presents, however daft they may be. Christmas is not the same without her.
Remembering mum and dad this Christmas
