My mum passed away from cancer in spring this year aged 70 years old. I miss her dearly and am still rather shocked she is not going to be here this Christmas. She was a fantastic dancer and used to be a go go dancer back in the 70s. As she got into her 60s she started doing ballroom dances and going to dances every weekend. She loved dressing up in fancy outfits (usually a charity shop bargain). My children will miss their little nanny this Christmas. And I will miss my mum. My son (age 3) thinks she's gone to the moon. ???? From there she can watch over us.

Thank you for the wonderful times and love we shared xxx

Always in our hearts and forever grateful to have had you in our lives.

Remembering my Dad on my first Christmas without him.

Dearest Sue, every year we have gone to the Christmas Tree at Lincoln Cathedral to light candles, first for Ted, then for Ted and Nick, now this year I will be going without you and adding your name. I am heartbroken and miss you so much, hope I am doing you proud. Love you for ever, Rachael xxx

Chris loved Christmas and the joy it brings to families and individuals alike. Her birthday was on the 21st December and our daughters wedding anniversary on the 22nd, so a very happy time with lots to celebrate. Chris was a Christian and had faith that Jesus would help her through the difficult times, which I am sure he did. Our Christmas festivities started by attending the carol service at the Cathedral and then getting ready for the big day with our daughter and her family. She took so much pleasure in giving and seeing the joy that it brought to others – that is what I remember about her at this time of year.

Dad missing you each and every day but especially at Christmas. Thank you for being my dad and always being there to help teach and guide me. Love you always xx

He was the best father we could ever wish for and we miss him so much. We love you dad xxx

Wonderful memories of great times spent together. Adrenalin-fuelled planning, 'who' was coming and 'when'? Last minute shopping a certainty! The fraught stages of prep forgotten as the day filled with love, laughter, and good cheer. Remembered now with great love as that Christmas Table shrinks, albeit gradually.
