We never did much to celebrate at Christmas, treating it as any other day really. However, this will be first Christmas without you and I’m expecting it to be difficult, as it is was at the time of our anniversary and birthdays.
We shared so many special times.
Happy heavenly Christmas my darling ????????????

Amazing memories of great family Christmases . When the whole family would get together. Now we all have our own family's. I try to keep up the tredition. Miss you so much mum????

In loving memory of Dad our 1st Christmas without him. xxx

Merry Christmas Mum. I know you're shining as bright in the sky as you did in life. Love you always xxx

Mum & Dad, loved and missed every day but more than ever at Christmas 🎄❤️♥️

Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

My mum volunteered at St Barnabas and was a nurse for 45 years. She sadly lost her battle with Motor Neurone Disease, this September, after only a few months since diagnosis. She is now at peace and back with her parents, my grandparents xx

Merry Christmas to you in heaven although you cannot be with us and there is an empty space at the table our hearts are always full with memories of you.
Christmas time a time to remember and reminis of times gone by, happy memories and full hearts keep you near.

This is in memory of my Grandad, I have a lot of great memories of my Grandad

My mum loved Christmas time so this is a fitting tribute

This is the first Christmas without Richard. I want to thank St Barnabas for all the amazing work they do and support they give to families going through similar situations to ours.

Miss you
Always in my heart
Loved eternally

Barrie used to pretend he wasn't bothered about Christmas but deep down I know he did, being close to family and all the grandchildren is what made him the happiest, miss him and his silly ways so much and always will.

They shone in life

You may not be with me in person but your presence in my heart and mind has not dimmed with the passage of time. The excitement of Christmas has never been the same since we lost you.

Dear Nan, you were the light of our lives and the heartbeat of our family. Losing you so suddenly has left a void that can never be filled. Our lives will never be the same without you, but I promise you will never be forgotten nor will the ones you lost in your life either. Your love and kindness will always be with us, guiding us through the darkest times. Here's a message you can use:

Christmas was always your favourite time of year, and we will honour you by keeping all of our traditions alive. We will make sure to celebrate in true style, just as you would have wanted. Your spirit will be with us every step of the way, and we’ll cherish those memories as we come together as a family xx

Loved and remembered always xxx

Forever in our hearts

He loved Christmas but truly believed the Christmas Fairy did everything from writing Christmas cards to wrapping presents.

Hi dad, we are all missing you so very much. We talk about you often and remember all the memories you gave us. We look to the night sky and find your star. It twinkles down on us all and says, " Don't worry, I'm always by your side, be strong, and remember yo live life, until we can be together again.
Love you.

Always missed. Forever in our thoughts xxxx

Gill. Although you are not with us in person we see you and feel you every day in our hearts, and we have some of the best conversations. We still go everywhere together hand in hand and we always will. I hear you shout encouragement to the boys when they play football and I know they feel your support. We love you so much, Kevin, Claire Brett Rosie, Stuart Heidi Jayden Jacob & Jess xxxxxxxxx

To Grandad,

Merry Christmas! We all miss you so much!

Love from all of us!

We miss you, you are now at peace our shining light

Forever in my heart.
