My beautiful mum lost her fight for life in lincoln st barnabus hospice on 9th Jan 2020 aged 68 with me and her son and husband by her side. I held her hand tight as she took her last breath. My mum loved Christmas, even her last Christmas which she spent with her family even though she was very poorly. She managed to make Christmas special as she always did. I have so many memories but last Christmas I remember how brave and selfless she was, putting on a brave face for us all. New year 2019 I spent in A & E with mum, not knowing 9 days later I would lose her. Even then, she managed to make us laugh and her bravery shone through. To this day I still don't know how she did it. Mum….this year, Christmas for me is all about you. Wherever you are I hope you will look down and see my tree shining brightly and find us so you can be with us in spirit. I miss you so so much and I love you with everything I have. Always and forever mummy ♥ ❤ xxxxxxxxx

I have such beautiful memories of putting up the Christmas decorations with you, going to the pantomine at The Westgate Club and the amazing Christmas dinners. Memories I treasure now your no longer with us. Happy Christmas to my angel in the heavens. Love and miss you so much xxx

I’m missing you so much Dad but comforted that you’re at peace now, love you loads God bless Dad

Remembering the happy times and all the love you gave.

Remembering a very special stepdad at this time of year, we think of you everyday and you will stay forever in our hearts. This will be the first Christmas without you and it won’t seem right not writing and sending a special Christmas card to you. Your light will shine on the tree and bring us comfort as will the light on our Christmas tree. As we decorate our tree we shall be remembering you with loving affection and although it will bring a tear your light will bring us comfort. Loving you always and remembering you each day, love from Julie, Daryll, Sean, Michelle and Mark xxxxx

My Dad was the most brilliant man. Master goldsmith and silversmith, Freeman of the City of London. He was kind, courageous and utterly charming. He fought for the causes that would affect generations below him and gave so much of himself to our local community.
I miss him with all my heart, every day.

Thanks for sharing 60 wonderful years.

We miss our wonderful Grandma so very much- she’d be so proud of our ever expanding family. We shall all raise a glass of Sherry in her honour this Christmas!

Shine bright up there Tommo, we love you and miss you every day xx

I love and miss you all.

Always in our thoughts and missed every day.

Dad, I don't know how to make the stuffing like you and grandad did so dinner can never be the same. Thank you for the years you kept opening the kitchen door, always at the wrong time, and rolling your eyes at my obsessive list checking. No one else can take that place. I miss you.

Forevermore in our hearts
Mum and dad
Love always
Heather and Steven
Grandchildren and great grandchildren
