Christmas was something we looked forward to as a family and it brought us all together from Yorkshire, the North East and overseas. Sadly, with the passing of so many it has now become a solo event, with time for reflection of those wonderful times.

How can I walk in your shoes
How can I make you proud
You were one of a kind
You stood out from the crowd

Forever loved
Forever missed !
Love you dad xx

My Dad was the most brilliant man. Master goldsmith and silversmith, Freeman of the City of London. He was kind, courageous and utterly charming. He fought for the causes that would affect generations below him and gave so much of himself to our local community.
I miss him with all my heart, every day.

Happy first heavenly Christmas Grandad. The last thing I said to him was shine bright for me ????????

Thinking of a much loved son, brother, father and uncle xx

Dad, I miss you so much. I can’t believe you won’t be here with me this Christmas. My first Christmas in 30 years and you won’t be here. I don’t quite know how I’m going to cope to be honest.
