Christmas 2023

Keith

Although I have so few memories as I was so young when you passed, I will always miss you during the times families are celebrating together and wish that we got to spend one adult celebration together. Love always, your daughter.

Sue Last a.k.a Nanny Harry

This is our first christmas without our Mum/Nan. She loved Christmas time, especially making sure everyone was fed and watered and we all loved our games in the evening. It is going to be a very different Christmas this year, without you here, Mum. We miss you loads and will always treasure the many lovely memories we made together. X

Hannah ,my daughter in law

My beautiful daughter in law Hannah,we love and miss you forever. Our lives will never recover from the loss of you.

Hannah Vines

My beautiful sis Hannah, how we all miss you so much everyday, Christmas will never be the same again, your smile, passion and kindness will always be remembered. A loving fiancé, sister, auntie, daughter and best friend. Forever in our hearts we love you and miss you every single day xxxxxxxxx

'Grandad' Brian Franks

Every year as we ate Christmas dinner (often 20+ of us around various height tables) Grandad would say what a good dinner we were having and that he thought it was better than the one the Queen would be having! Being around the table with all his family was the most important thing for Grandad at Christmas. We miss you and raise a glass to you every year xxx

Carol Elizabeth Hamilton

Our hope this Christmas as we celebrated Carol’s life and said farewell yesterday, is that she will live on in our hearts and minds, for all that she shared with us, and for the love that she gave to us. Will think of you Carol, whenever we hear Tina Turner singing. ‘Where words fail...music speaks’ - Hans Christian Andersen. (Receipt #1880-5163)

Hannah Vines

My beautiful little lady. The world is a worse off place without your presence. The struggle this Christmas without you is barely manageable because we shared so many things together, Christmas being a massive part of our life’s. I miss you every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Life will never be the same without you Hannah. I love you to the moon and back dear xxxxxxxxx

My Mum and Dad

I have such happy memories of Christmas with my mum and dad - both from my childhood and then with our own children when they arrived. I so wish they had been around to meet our grandchildren, but our family traditions live on in their memory.

Paul Crump - Grandad

We miss you and are thinking of you, we are doing well in school and miss your lovable personality. Ethan and Noah xx

My dad - Paul Crump

Dad, our hearts are still broken as we approach our first Christmas without you. You are thought about and missed every single day. We love you so much. X P.s. we are looking after mum and Alfie. Xx

Mum and Dad

Alan and Treash, mum and dad, we Miss you everyday, thinking of you more and more each day. Love you always xxxx

Irene Hanson

This will be our second Christmas without Mum and its still very difficult. Mum loved sparkle and getting dressed up for Christmas. Our last Christmas with Mum she was going through chemo. She lost her hair straight away but embraced it fully and had a hat to match every outfit and occasion. I'm so pleased you never lost your sparkle. Love and miss you so much xxx

Ann Turner

Our first Christmas without you mum. You’ve only been gone 7 weeks, everything is still so raw. We simply just miss you. You lived Christmas so much, the build up, our family traditions and even you working at Watsons up until Christmas Eve. Christmas morning we will miss our early phone call to ask “has he been?” So much of our Christmas this year will be different because you’re not here, but we truly believe you’ll be with us. We will all be together & your photo is on the top of our tree!

Elsie Caldicott

Our first Christmas without you mom but we know you will be with us all on Christmas Day and I will leave you a seat so that you can join us. I miss you mom, you always made Christmas a magical time for us as kids. I love you mom and miss you. God Bless xx

Doug German (my husband)

My first Christmas without you. I'm going to miss your twinkling blue eyes they really shone bright every Christmas and your beautiful smile. Miss you so much My Darling xx

Gary David Fox

Gary savoured every second of christmas, he loved the tree, the gifts, the food, the Carol's, but most of all he loved the family, his kids Lynne and Darren meant everything to him, as did Ryan his son in law, and Brooke his first granddaughter. Just wish he could be with us this Christmas to play with the 4 grandchildren we now have, he'd have been in his element. Forever loved xxx

Paul crump, my dad

Thinking of you so much on our first Christmas without you. I miss you so much every day

Margaret Fox, my Nana ❤️

My Nana loved Christmas, we laughed every year at how much extra food she would buy “just incase someone pops in” and the personalised gifts she used to buy everyone for stocking fillers. I’m sad this is the first year we won’t get to share those moments with you, but am so glad we have those wonderful memories to look back on and giggle 🥰 Love and miss you every day Nana ❤️ xxx

Paul Crump

This will be our 1st Christmas without you. We miss you so much and think about you every day.

Lois Collier

Still miss you mum

Diane Johnson

3 weeks since you went to sleep. Not a single day goes by that we don’t miss you. Our first Christmas without you and it hurts so much. We hope that wherever you are, you are happy. We love you mum, always and forever, rest in paradise 💜

Ann Turner - Mum

Mum was always so excited for Christmas, even when I got older and moved out she would ring Christmas morning and ask ‘Has he been?’… I’ll miss that this Christmas. Mum was cared for at St Barnabas for 11 days before she passed away, they couldn’t have done enough for her and me and my sister and brother, we well be forever grateful for their care, they truly are special.

Garfield 'Joe' Joseph

A long time gone, but never forgotten. Our friend, our handy-man and all round good guy with the biggest smile and greatest laugh. "We loved you, like you loved this place. Rest in peace."

Jane

My beloved best friend Jane died aged 67 in 2021. We spoke almost every day for 21 years . We have laughed and cried and helped each other through dark days . We had an unbreakable bond, she used to call me her "posh friend" as she felt that we were at opposite ends of the social ladder . I never saw that. I loved her for what she was . A down to earth loud Rotherham lass. My life is definitely a sadder place without her . My heart holds onto her and there she will stay throughout my life xxx

My husband Daniel

Daniel died aged 31 in 2008 . A day does not go by that I do not think of him . He was very kind, gentle and sweet . He did drive me nuts with his woodturning and the mess he made but I remember his bowls that he made . I think everyone in the family and village now has something to remember him by. My family and I remember him with such love and he is so very missed . Love you Dan xxx

Philly

Philly was my sister, we were very close with just three years between us and I miss her very much. When we were little girls, we would have lots of people round as our mum wanted to get everyone together. We did everything together, even with our pillowcases at the bottom of the bed waiting for Santa. Philly would wake up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning and was the little girl that always looked at the presents already under the Christmas tree. We had lovely, special Christmases together.

My big sister ❤

December will never be the same without you 💔 My memories of us staying awake to listen for the sleigh bells on Christmas Eve will forever make me smile. As do my memories of those legendary knitted jumpers from Nan. Merry Christmas Denise and happy heavenly birthday this week xx

My Mum and Dad

Christmas was always a lovely time with all our family together. Mum would enjoy her homemade Christmas pudding and Dad refused to touch it!! Happy Christmas Mum and Dad, we miss you both so much but are always in our hearts and thoughts xxx

Mum and Dad

Happy Christmas Mum and Dad - I miss you now more than ever - love you always xx.

John and Sylvia - Grandma and Grandad

I remember you both being just as excited as Bec and I on Christmas morning. I have so many memories of Christmas Day with you both. Grandma’s Christmas legendary bingo prizes, Grandad proclaiming ‘that’s another Christmas over with’ at dinner, the Christmas cards that rarely were Christmas themed and the ever imaginative wrapping. I hope you’re bebopping in the stars together this Christmas ✨

Lilly Trafalgar Bryant - my Nan

We miss you so much, especially this time of the year - from the amazing sweet filled stockings you created for us grandchildren to you ability to annually knock over the Christmas tree after one too many Sherry's! You always made us laugh and brought so much fun and love to our lives.

My Mum Sylvia

So many special memories of my beautiful, amazing mum. My best friend, my world, my inspiration. A very special memory as we approach the Christmas season, is the time we always spent together with ‘your’ beloved boys decorating our Christmas tree; I miss this so much. Not surprising that the chocolate decorations added to the tree for the boys didn’t last long!! Happy Christmas Mum/Nannie, we love and miss you very much; you remain with us is all that we do xxx
