Merry Christmas Dad! (And Grandad)

Wherever you are, you will always be inside our hearts. Merry Christmas Dad♥️

We miss you & love you so much daddy xxx

Chris loved Christmas and the joy it brings to families and individuals alike. Her birthday was on the 21st December and our daughters wedding anniversary on the 22nd, so a very happy time with lots to celebrate. Chris was a Christian and had faith that Jesus would help her through the difficult times, which I am sure he did. Our Christmas festivities started by attending the carol service at the Cathedral and then getting ready for the big day with our daughter and her family. She took so much pleasure in giving and seeing the joy that it brought to others – that is what I remember about her at this time of year.

Always thinking of you Mum ❤

Christmas time was our family time, we all miss you so much..xxxxx

Merry Christmas Dad. Love and miss you all through the year xxx

Christmas was such a special time for our family because of you both – Christmas Eve traditions, huge family dinners, getting all the neighbours together on Christmas morning & Santa sacks for the grandkids. You both brought so much joy & happiness to all who met & loved you. We miss you both every hour of every day and love you with all our hearts ♥️ Love from your girls & families xxx

Dad we miss you more than words can say, we remember you every single day.
This is our first Christmas without you and we know you loved a 'bit of a do'.
On Christmas day we will raise a glass for you and remember all the good times we had. Love you xxx

Whilst Dad didn't use the hospice in his lifetime he had many relatives that did and he was a big supporter of St Barnabas being a local lad. After such a tough year he will be missed at Christmas and we think this is a lovely way to remember him.

Christmas is a really difficult time of year for me. It really is a time for family and with you both gone, it is just not the same.
I love and miss you both so much.

Miss you every day xx

For my dearest Auntie Bett. A year has passed and it seems like only yesterday. Those last weeks were made bearable by the love and care of the wonderful hospice. What I'd give just to have a hug again. I miss her more than words.

They made Christmas so very special for me I hope they know I am thinking of them ❤️

Remembering our Christmas' spent together. Knitted jumpers, toys, and toilet roll holders! Family Boxing Days at Auntie Doreen's. Nativity plays, paper hats, Christmas crackers, and Christmas dinner with those alone at Burland Court! Getting tipsy, Mum's infamous sherry trifle, Dad washing the Christmas pots! So many memories for us to treasure, of my dear Mum and Dad and our wonderful Grandad and Nanny, With all our love Susan, Charlotte & David xxx

So many fond memories of Christmas with you both. Granddad telling me the combination lock for the bike that was hidden was new fashion item is one of my favourites. Along with eating Christmas Dinner off the door covered with a tablecloth as a makeshift table.
Nan you left us at Christmastime and it will always be bitter sweet but these memories make it brighter.
Love and miss you at Christmastime and always.
