This will be our 5th Christmas without you, mam. Unlike the saying; it doesn’t get any easier. However, you will be spending Christmas with us, you’re always in our thoughts & we talk about you all the time. Miss & love you to the moon and back xxx

Thinking of you now and always,
All our Love

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

Merry Christmas to my dad my hero, it’s just not the same without you, we miss you checking ‘he has been’
Love you always

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.

This is a sad and happy time of year for me; as I remember your passing in Oct 2014, but also a happy time in December as it was also your birthday and we started our celebration of Christmas by attending the Carole service in the Cathedral and then celebrated Christmas with all the family.

Christmas, more than ever, I miss my Dad's central role within our family festivities. I miss him so much.

Missed dearly and still very much loved.
Forever in our hearts xx

In memory of my sister Elizabeth who passed away after a brave fight against cancer, I love and miss you my darling peedie sister. Rest in Peace xxxxxxx

Always, every day, I remember our love.

If you get a chance to look down on me, I hope you know that I am missing you.

Beloved elder sister, both in kin and spirit

10th March 1958 – 11th December 2017
