Hi grandad,

Happy Easter to you both.

I went up to the grave last week, it’s still to have a headstone put in. I’m sure it will look great when it’s there.

You were the only person to wish me happy Easter last year, I know it’s a foregone holiday to a lot of people, probably you too. Albeit it was pleasant to receive.

Love you and speak to you soon

Hi grandad ,

I feel alone today, i look up to the stars sometimes to try and feel some kind of communication to you both.

It doesn’t work, but I’m not religious, I know you were religious by definition but not by feeling, you said you weren’t sure what to believe.

I’ll be honest grandad - I don’t know what to do, I don’t really have anyone anymore and when I try to ring dad it isn’t the same, he just doesn’t see things the way that I do, like we did.

I will keep plodding on - you always said you must pick yourself up when you fall down, but days like this it feels much harder to do so.

I hope to feel better soon

Today is a hard day Grandad, I miss you both.

It was a pleasure to talk to your dad/grandad here at JDH Assessors. He was always such a lovely person to chat with. I remember him saying he was supposed to visit Japan but then never did. He sent me a couple of images of his paintings too. I would regularly ask if he was arrange to visit any places. He is very greatly missed by everyone here.

Dad I never knew it would or even could be this hard I will miss and love u forever. Your son Jasonxxx

Grandad,

First Christmas without you was tough, it dawned on me that it feels like the closing of a chapter now that you and Mama are both gone. The reality has hit home today, it’s peculiar how grief affects us.

I’m looking forward for the headstone to be put in so I have somewhere to speak with you.

It’s so strange going from two phone calls a day to nothing, my phone is a lot more silent these days

I miss you dearly

With love

Jack

So many wonderful memories, never to be repeated
Lots of love Linda xx

Goodbye Geoff, love from us all xxxx

Love you geoff xx

Grandad,

You and Mama were a pillar of stability in my life when I had not much else, the love, knowledge and experiences you gave to me are things I will hold dear for the rest of my days.

Your spirit shines, and has always shined through everything that I do. Your positive and happy demeanour I have always tried to replicate, I told you not long before you passed that I always wanted to be like you.

In a life of chaos that a young man bears upon entering the world of adulthood, you held me when I cried, you gave me wisdom and aspiration, encouragement and advice.

I know that I will never have anyone else like you. It’s a bitter sweet truth, it’s beautiful to have memories of the things we did together but it hurts to know they will never be replaced.

Although you didn’t say it much, the feeling of true love that I knew was there, I could feel from just being in the room with you.

I never felt anything like that, I knew you were proud.

I know you know this; but you were more than a Grandad to me.

You were a Grandad, a best friend, and in many ways a Father. I will never forget your love for gardening, cars and painting.

The first time I came around to your house after you passed there was a ripe tomato hanging from your tumbling toms plant. I didn’t pick it, but I knew you would have loved it, it was just under ripe; how you always preferred them.

With love Grandad, I hope you have found some peace.

Jack

I'm going to miss you, can't believe you're gone thanks for all the lovely memories. Bye Geoff.

Thankyou for all the good times Geoff, will love and miss you always. Say hello to Laine for me xx RIP
