Dad and I miss you everyday. I really hope we are making you proud, we look up to you in everything we do. We really do wish you were here with us this Christmas, as we do every year. We love you so so much.

Neil and Kaitlyn xx

Probably his least favourite time of year but I’m sure he’d rather be with us in his tacky Christmas waistcoat. We certainly wish he was still sat at the other end of the Christmas table for years to come.

Grief is the last act of love, where there is deep grief, there is great love.

Clive, our dearly loved husband, dad and grandad. We have so many happy memories of our Christmases together and you will be in our thoughts and our hearts at Christmas as you are every day.

In memory of our beautiful, talented granddaughter, Emelia, who we miss so much. Grandma and Grandpa

The first Christmas without our beloved husband to Sharon, father of Lisa and Sara, father-in-law to Alex and Ben and grandad to Alfred and Penelope.

It’s about this time of year when you’d be enjoying a cherry brandy or two!
It may have been many years but I still miss you Granny
Love Fi xx

Happy Christmas Dad, wish you were here with us x

My Dad is my hero and my best friend and I miss him so much, especially a round this time of year as he died at the end of November – so Christmas is not the same without you xx

Grief is the last act of love,
Where there is deep grief,
There is great love.

Stuart, you are greatly missed every day, but your memories are strong and cherished, love always Alistair x

Thinking of Jules and Hayley with love.

Missed Mum more this year than ever before. I became a Granny and would so loved her to have met baby Martha Melly.

For my beautiful mum who loved a scone and a whiskey, though not necessarily at the same time 🙂

If love could have saved you, you’d have lived forever ♥️ .. My beautiful Mum xx

I love and miss you each and every day. Keep shining bright Nanna, I love you xx

Love you both forever. All my love

This was my husband’s most favourite time of the year. He loved all things shiny and glittery and would decorate the house with as much as he could get away with. This is our first year without him. ????

Merry Christmas mum we all miss so much I hope you’re partying hard and being you up. Forever missed forever loved xxx

My husband passed away 5 years ago, he was cared for at home by your Skegness team of st barnabas nurses , they were so special x

Mum & Dad, Nan Nan & Grandad we miss you so much, lots of love Craig, Sarah, Maisie & Olivia

Happy Christmas mum. Miss you xx

Merry Christmas Mum. I know you're shining as bright in the sky as you did in life. Love you always xxx

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.

The love of my life, we shared 48years together, raised our son & daughter, Chris & Laura, They were incredibly lucky that I fell in love with a wonderful girl. She was an amazing lady and we were all devastated to lose her. God bless you my darling. xx
Died in St Barnabas hospice 30 May 2024.
