My Mum was the light and glue of our family. We have been lost without her and this time of year is always such a reminder of the missing piece of our family. Merry Christmas Mum xxx
Love and miss you so much, always in my thoughts and heart.
Love you forever. Maureenxx
Christmas was something we looked forward to as a family and it brought us all together from Yorkshire, the North East and overseas. Sadly, with the passing of so many it has now become a solo event, with time for reflection of those wonderful times.
To my Mamma & Dadda I miss you so much , life doesn’t get any easier without you in it but I know you will be jiving away together up there. Keep our Ben safe in your arms until we are together again love and miss you so much . Love you always Teresa xxxx
With lots of love, remembering you at Christmas and always xxx
Such an amazing lady, we miss you so so much.
Lots of love,
Soph, George and Ed

Remembering 3 special people this Christmas, all taken too soon. I dedicate a light to them to help keep their lights shining bright. I miss you. ????
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.
In my thoughts and always in my heart, love you Jan xx

Love and miss you so much. Never forgotten. Love Mum. xxx
I have so missed you, since loosing you in August. You loved Christmas and all the decorations. Love you mum xx
We spent every minute of every day together and Yvonne passed away 5 days before our silver wedding 5 years ago. She’s still with me every day. I cared for her at home for the last seven weeks with the help of St Barnabas.
An amazing Uncle, Husband, Father, Brother, Grandad, Son and more! I will never forget all the times he made laugh and the unique sense of humour he had. Forever missed and forever loved.
Thinking of you this Christmas as we celebrate another year without you xXx
In loving memory of our beautiful mum.
This will be our first Christmas without you. It was always such a happy time for us and you loved to get the family together for a big meal out go out dancing with dad.
Thank-you for always being there, supporting me and giving unconditional love. I never felt judged by you, and you always made me feel secure taking my own path in life.
We can't believe you are gone and will miss you forever.
Much missed mate RIP
He is always in my heart.
