Forever heartbroken. Taken far too soon. Christmas will never be the same again. You were the best Santa ever xx

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.

Love and miss you always…Christmas will not be the same without, but we know you will be close to us & sending your love always xxxx

Shine bright in our hearts

I love that you are my person
and I am yours, that whatever door we come to, we will open it together.
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.

Always in my heart and thoughts. Much loved and missed.

I think of Rod every day. But at this time of year it is so much harder, I’ll love him forever xx

Lovely kind gentleman. He worked so hard for his family all his life and is greatly missed by us all.

Our dear mum was a beautiful lady who cared for everyone she ever met. She was kind, loving and funny. It was a privilege to have her as our mum. She was also the best Grandma in the World and we miss her every single day. We hope you’re having fun with dad again. Sweet dreams both of you.

Think of you every day and miss you so much..❤

Merry Christmas to the brightest star in the sky, our Mum. We all miss you everyday. Sending you lots of love always xxx

As another Christmas without you passes, we remember the good times and hope we make you proud everyday xxxx

We will never forget you mummy xx

Love Mitchell, Peggy and Gavin .

Happy Christmas to our dear family and friend. We wish we could have you all at our Christmas dinner table. John, Ruby still misses you and weve even see Sue this year.
We miss you all terribly.
Julie Mike and the whole Roach family xxx

Dad was Mr Christmas, he loved every bit about it. We cherish this time in his memory 🤍

At Christmas we celebrate JOY to the World – without Jesus we would have no hope

My mum was a fantastic mother who is missed by her whole family including her two daughters and husband and son in law and grandchildren.

Grandma looked forward to coming round for Christmas dinner every year, so this year me and my family have decided to keep with our traditional dinner, in honor of my Grandma, and keep celebrating Christmas for her. Family is what makes us stronger and we will always remember Linda for making us strongest.

In memory of our Grandad and Great Grandad Victor Moore, missing you more than ever this Christmas. Wish you was here to share Teddy’s first Christmas, we know you are watching and guiding us and we miss and love you so much.

John absolutely loved Christmas. He loved nothing more than to decorate all of the inside and outside of our home with lights.We will miss you this Christmas and always.Lots of love Doreen Sharon and Loyd
