Grandad Barry was the greatest of all time, he played the role of Grandad and Dad all our life, we miss him every day, hope we’ve made you proud xx

To dad merry Christmas we love and miss you so much Sarah Jonathan maisie and Harry

My dad, my hero, nothing ever got him down and even when he was receiving care from the hospice he still had the Christmas spirit wearing reindeer headband and flashing nose to “makes the nurses smile” it’s still my fav Christmas picture ever! Such beautiful happy memories it brings back! Loved and missed forever xxxxx

Setting up the tree

Dear Dad,
Another year of missing you but you are always in our hearts x Always remembered with a smile x with lots of love now and always x Rita, Jane, John, Jessica, Chris, Holly, Eleanor, Poppy xxx

Pete and Dave,
Two much loved brothers and an uncle to Charlie and Erin. You are both sadly missed and taken far too soon. You were both amazing brothers and as you left, a little piece of my heart left with you. You are both together now and pain free. I’m sure you look down over the girls with pride.
Love you lots
Sue, Joe, Charlie and Erin x

Loved and missed every day, but more so at Christmas, Gary, the biggest kid of all at Christmas, held in all our hearts whilst remembering all the brilliant Christmas's we enjoyed together. Special kisses for grandad from Brooke, Blake, Seb and Elody xxxx

Happy Christmas to my beautiful Nan and Pops. We miss you more and more everyday and hope you’re both shining together <3

First Christmas without you Dad but you will be forever in my heart. I think about you and talk about you every single day, you are missed more than words can describe. Love you so much xxx

Dedicating a light to my dad who loved Christmas and made it so magical for us as children, and then for my children. Always look for the brightest star in the sky.

I miss you playing little jingles to wake us up on Christmas morning. I miss the smile on your face and excitement in yours eyes when you present us with Christmas stockings – that you STILL did for us all even as adults each year. I miss the strange/odd gifts you used to buy me that you thought I’d love! I miss seeing you dancing and singing to ‘rocking around the Christmas tree’ (usually in something red!) in the kitchen while we prepped and cooked Christmas dinner together… and so much more besides.

I regret that you never saw me happy with Russ who I met the year after you passed and I am saddened that you never got to hold your Grandchild Oakley. But you live on in all of us and Russ tells me he feels like he knows you as I speak of you so often and Oakley will feel the same in time I’m sure it – he already has a lot of love for ‘Nanny Bear’ who he kisses and cuddles often. I tell him he has to be a good boy as Nanny is always watching and checking in on him!

We miss you Mum, our sun moon and stars xxxxxx

My heart is still so broken each day I miss you my Butchie. You didn’t deserve what happened to you, but you took it all that was thrown at you with such grace never complaining. I would walk a million miles to see your face one more time or to talk and laugh with you. You will always be in my heart till we meet again. Love Maggie xxxxx

Loved and remembered every day, but even more so at Christmas.
Wishing you could both be here to celebrate with your new great- grandson.
Love from us all. xxxx
