Mel Downing (3 Sep 1944 - 12 Aug 2017)

Hello Dad,
As we say goodbye to another year, and welcome in 2026, just wanted to let you know you are missed now more than ever. Christmas just isn’t the same, life isn’t the same without you. However I will always remember you saying ‘tis what it is’ during those dark days. You were right, and we must dust ourselves off and continue to get on with life, then one day when we are reunited out there in the ether we will carry on where we left off. Grief is the price we pay for love 💝💝💝💝

Merry heavenly Christmas my darling Mel as we spend our 9th Christmas without you. You are forever in my heart as you walk beside me every day. Remembering the wonderful times we shared. All my love my forever sweetheart, until we meet again. Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
