Remembering our beloved Grandma on our first Christmas without her. She is now reunited with our dearly missed Grandad whom we lost 14 years ago.
The most wonderful Grandparents I could ever have wished for.
Loved and remembered always.

In loving memory of my dear wife, Pam.. A wonderful Wife, Mother and Grandmother and a friend to so many.

Merry Christmas Mum, not a day goes by without us thinking about you

I’m sure you can see what I’ve done to the garden and house this year. I can just hear you saying “How many holidays?” ????
You would have loved your new little granddaughter born almost 9 months to the day since you left us. She is such a little star and Rob and Hannah are great parents. You are always in my thoughts and I’ll never stop loving or missing you. ❤️

Christmas was Hannah's favourite time x

Dear Mum and Dad,

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.

Mum, wherever you are i hope you are at peace. Wish you were here so i could tell you all those things left unsaid. Love, your little girl Karen xxx

Loved by all the family. Xx

Christmas will never be the same, you always made it so special. We love you so much Mum. We miss you more every day. Shine bright Granny xxx

Tony, I miss you every day. My life is now dedicated to your memory and the life we had together.
