My Dad passed away in 1997. He was an incredible man and a complete inspiration as he was also diabetic since he was 11. This never stopped him doing anything. He was a Scout leader for many years! Still miss him and love him loads. ❤️

We always enjoyed our Christmas time together over the years and I miss him so much.

St Bs were amazing looking after both my Dad and best friend through their valiant battles – this time of year they are especially missed and it’s so important we support the hospice and staff continue their vital work. Huge thanks to you all!

Miss you both so much, not a day goes by without thinking of you and holding on to precious memories.
Till I see you on Claire Island.
All my love,
Manda. X

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

Dad, you are so missed, especially now. Christmas was a time you always made so special and magical. Thank you for being the best Dad anyone could ask for, I’ll always be grateful for the years we had and for the memories you left behind. You & Mum gave me the best life I could’ve asked for, full of love and laughter. No words can ever describe how much you are loved and missed, every day. ❤️

The first Christmas without you!. We have a big Stuart (Dad) shaped hole in our lives that cannot be filled. We miss you so much, love Phil, Ryan and Jack xx

Im missing you so much Nan ????
I hope you are resting with Alfie up there.
It hasn’t and will not be the same without you.
Love you always and forever, godbless xxx

My favourite Christmas memory was when Kev was unexpectedly discharged from hospital just in time to spend Christmas with his family. We weren't to know that it would be the last Christmas we would share together. The best present we could ever have wished for.

To the brightest star in the sky. I miss you finishing your Christmas shopping in July and moaning about how ‘it’s all this for one day!’ until December 25th. I know you’re looking over us all on this special year and raising a Bacardi & Coke to the next. Lots of love, Lauren xx
