I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.

Claire, missed always. Helen & Mum xx

Christmas Day with all the family round the table

Our first year without you at Christmas. It will feel very strange. We miss you Mum/Grandma, Helen & Alice xxx

Remembering you June at Christmastime.

Andrew loved Christmas. We think of him daily and will love him always xx

He was my world

Christmas like you will go on forever.

A gentle man.

We had the privilege of being with our baby Emma for just one day yet ever since keeping her lovingly within our hearts.

Grandma and Grandad Hodgson missed everyday and in our thoughts.

Remembering our darling son Jack not just at this special time but always. Forever in our thoughts and hearts…. #Onejacknotty ????

Our first Christmas without Mum and it will feel very empty. Mum was always the life and soul of any gathering at Christmas and throughout the year and will be hugely missed. We will especially miss her delicious Christmas pudding! I’ll be raising a glass to Mum and hope she’ll be doing the same along with all her friends & family. Love always xxx

Treasured memories of a loving husband, dad and grandad. We think of you, speak of you and miss you everyday xxx

Probably his least favourite time of year but I’m sure he’d rather be with us in his tacky Christmas waistcoat. We certainly wish he was still sat at the other end of the Christmas table for years to come.

Sending Christmas kisses and a big Christmas hug of love to our dad, it will be our first Christmas without you Dad we miss you so much at this special time,
Cheers Dad we will never forget you, love you from your loving family xx

Wendy is a friend I’ll never forget. She made such an impact on my family’s life. We will never forget her. William was the most lovely young man. He brought a smile to everyone’s faces and will always have a special place in my heart.

Presents on the sofa, chocolate before breakfast, letters from santa and the anticipation of opening the lounge door, chestnuts and stuffing, pudding when we are stuffed. Then walks to the park with the dogs in all our new clothes and buffet tea that we all wanted but didnt need, tuna and sweetcorn vol au vents and quiche, christmas cake love it or hate it, then tele snuggled together, new pyjamas 'father chistmas' and his happy blooming christmas

My mum loved Christmas but could be very last minute with the wrapping & delivery of presents, she enjoyed the baking and always took charge of the Christmas Dinner

Missing you always but remembering such happy times together

Stuart, you are greatly missed every day, but your memories are strong and cherished, love always Alistair x

The most courageous woman I have ever known. She was selfless, caring and thoughtful. I had the privilege of having her as my mum. I miss her greatly. She has left the biggest whole in our lives that can never be filled. Love you forever mum ❤

Alec – thoroughgoing Lancastrian – actor, brilliant singer, lovely, lovely bloke.

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
Rach xXx

To Dad,

I miss you so much, even as the year’s pass by so quickly, that doesn’t change. I wish you could have had the opportunity to meet my girls, you would have loved being their Grandad and watching them grow up.
We like to think you are still here, watching over us all.

Love you, Charlotte xxxxx
