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.

Merry Christmas to the brightest star in the sky. Miss you everyday, love from Helen, Jay, Evie and Oscar xxx

In loving memory of my dear brother who is gone but never forgotten

My friend Brigitte is from Australia and visited Lincoln every two years when she came to England for a holiday she was very dear to me we met on holiday in Whitby in 1997 and wrote to each other sadly on my birthday this year she passed away aged 66 I’ve just found out from a family member. Brigitte thank you for many years of happiness and our strong friendship I will treasure it forever. God bless you my dear friend xx

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.

Forever missed xx

Roy spent many happy years on his boat moored at Brayford Pool.
We remember him fondly as a charming and kind man, much missed by his family and friends.

We miss you Dad and Grandad more than words can say, and Christmas just won’t be the same without you. Forever in our hearts and thoughts. Enjoy a brandy or two up there and we will toast the day with you. All our love Louise, Jason, Lily & Chloe xxxx

A wonderful husband, father and friend to many who was helped to end his days peacefully at home by the loving care of the Macmillan, St Barnabas and Marie Curie nurses.

Remembering all the happy Christmases we have shared together as our family

My mum loved Christmas time so this is a fitting tribute

Thank You St Barnabas for the care you gave Joyce.

My Grandma, who was an amazing, kind woman who made the best chicken pies that would put Delia to shame! She is missed every day.

Missing you again on another Christmas. Will be thinking of you all at this special time as I do every day xx

To my lovely wife Linda, a shining light in my life, then, now and forever. xxxx

Remembering lovely Sonja. A wonderful mum to Katie and friend to so many.
She was a light in the world and is very much missed.

This time of year is always tough and it never gets easier.
Tonight is dedicated to 3 extremley special people who have been taken by such a cruel illness and only my Uncle having the wonderful experience and care provided by the Hospice.

You are all so sorely missed and will be forever in my heart and thoughts x x

A treasured memory of my Sister, myself and her son singing ‘Lily the pink’ at the top of our voices. We were laughing and lost in the moment. This happened a week before Jo was sedated and passed away. Xxxx

Parents JJ and Kathleen were the most amazing parents, Grandparents and in laws you could wish for. Always with us xxx

In loving memory of Dad.

Because Fluffy shone brightly every day of her life and I miss her every day xx
