Tasha bday today. Had bottomless brunch (lovely)and then went to reflex awful 🤣 Just brought back lots of memories of when we went, I said it was full of old people and then realised I was their age too! Miss you more as each day passes, you are always in and thought and we talk about you constantly; you will never be forgotten. Xx

I cannot believe it’s been five years without you already. Seems like yesterday that we sat planning our retirement dreams, the hole you have left in my heart will never heal. I miss and think about you every single day and we always chat about you. You may not still be with us in body but you will always remain a part of our lives. You would be so proud of Sean, Tasha and Alisha they take good care of me and keep your memory alive. I’m half a person without you to comfort , guide and protect me but I am so thankful for the thirty plus years we got to share together , so many happy memories! You are loved and missed every second of every day and will be always. Xx

Happy heavenly birthday. Miss you every day. Love always Jackie xx

Year three without you, my heart still aches and my world is still shattered. You will always be my ‘one in a million’. I hope you and Jim are together telling dad jokes and playing”soldiers”. Love you always and forever. Xxx

Two years have gone in the blink of an eye. Time heals they say, when I say? It is still as raw now as it was then. We all miss your sense of humour ;the house is so quiet without you. We are doing our best to move forward but it’s a struggle every day.
Keeping you in our hearts and thoughts always. Lots of love Jackie xx

A second Xmas without you. The light and laughter had gone from the occasion without you. Just a case of going through the motions. It’s not getting any easier for us but we have reminisced about happy times. Love and miss you always Jackie xx💕

Happy heavenly birthday Tony.
Love and miss you so ,so much. Always in my heart and thoughts.
Love Jackie. Xx 😘💔💕

It’s Phil’s anniversary today which got me thinking about our time in Weymouth. Who would have thought all those years ago, pre kids, when we were playing trivial pursuit and getting drunk that both of you would pass at such a young age. It’s difficult now , I think finally after a year I am beginning to grieve. There is such a huge void without you. I know for the sake of the kids that I need to move forward but it’s so hard when the biggest part of your life is in the past. How I wish we could have that last day again and feel your cuddles. I will love you forever.
Jackie xx

Nearly a year has gone by and I lie awake each night at 4am with my thoughts of you and all the love we shared for over 30 years. Time isn’t healing my pain or loss and now we are all in lock down with a pandemic it just makes the void even greater. What I would give to share more memories with you and complete those journeys we had planned. I am lost without you, still I will smile and show the world I’m ok and that life moves forward whilst living my own private devastation each night when know one can see my heart ache and loss. You are in our thoughts and conversations every single day so you’re memory will move forward with us as we try to build some sort of life without you. Missing your comforting hugs and you’re ‘it’ll be fine’. My love for eternity Jackie xx

Nine months have passed by since we lost you. Time does not heal the pain or fill the void that is left without you. Each new day is just a reminder of the many more stretching ahead and you not being here to share them. We hang onto all the fantastic memories we have and keep you in our hearts always. Lisha needs a new Baggies partner- she’s been going to watch the Villa! I can only imagine your reaction to that. Love and miss you terribly. Jackie XX 😘
