Our family's had some wonderful holidays and Christmases together. Julie was always the life and soul of any party's we had. She was a wonderful sister.

For my lovely Mum Helen, you loved Christmas, and we all miss you, especially at this time of year. This will be the third Christmas you won't be with us, and it would have been your first as a Great-Grandma. May your light shine as bright on the tree as our love for you still shines. Love you always xx

Thankyou Dad for your love, dedication and valuable guidance you showed to me. Your legacy of fairness and compassion will always be with me. Thinking of you fondly,not only at Christmas,but all the year through. Love "P" xxx

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.

We miss you so much..
I wish a lot of things, but I hope you can see us, I hope you're here with us, I hope you can feel our love.

Sending you all our love now and forever.XX

Gillian loved the Christmas season and enjoyed hosting family on Boxing Day. This will be our first Christmas without her and she will be missed.
We love you.

I just remember how incredibly loving he was, I lived with them for a few yrs in my teenage yrs and it was the best yrs ever as I got to build a bind with my grandad many people don't get to build, he was just alway there x I miss his smell, I miss his face and I'm scared I will forget your voice ????

Christmas will never be the same without my darling husband at my side. Sorely missed and never forgotten.

Always a wink and a cheeky smile. Forever 16, always in my heart ♥️
Shine bright son, love dad xxx
