Dear Jim, it was nine years ago today that you suddenly left us . I am still here in Palm Coast and trying to still decide where to go if I move. The house is really too big for me as I don’t have as many visitors as I did in the past, In a few days it will be Christmas . We now celebrate Christmas virtually, three ways between Stavanger, Silverthorne ( Colorado) and Palm coast. This is done on FaceTime, which we didn’t have when you were alive. We all miss you and love you . Love Maureen

Dear Jim, Today would have been our 59th anniversary. Another hurricane is about to hit Florida(on the gulf coast ) Of course ,as you will remember, we will get some effects as it crosses the peninsula. It reminds me of 2004 when we experienced three hurricanes which did the same thing.Louise and Kevin were here in June/July and then Paul,Elsa and Elsa's nephew(9 years old) also came for a week and we went up to Savannah for two nights to celebrate my belated 80th Birthday.Still miss you. Love Maureen

Dear Jim,Today would have been your 87th Birthday. We all still miss you.Louise and Kevin visited in June/July and Paul,Elsa and Elsa's nephew,Santiago(9) visited and we went to Savannah to celebrate my 80th Birthday( belatedly). We cruised on the river and enjoyed a meal while doing so.I still haven't made the decision where I want to be ! I think maybe the kids are getting a bit frustrated with my indecision. It is important that I make the right move ,as I don't want to have to move again. Love Maureen

Dear Dad. After I took my masters I have finally managed to change jobs. First a job I thought was the one I wanted, but now I have changed again in December, I am now the leader of two barnehages. Busy but, I am enjoying it!

Alex is planning a move to London in January,(and has a girlfriend): Birgit. Tommy might be working at Sola hundesenter again, and he is in a realtionship with Catherine (Cath), and Kevin is working in a coin (collectors) shop, and really enjoys it. Everyone is growing up. 

Christmas eve will be at Frode's house and Christmas day at my house with the boys, Cath and the dogs Alpha and Buddy. You will be missed again this year. We will all go to the grave after breakfast (probably Brunch) with your wreath and say Merry Christmas to you, on Christmas eve.

Mum wil also be missed this year, as she will be in Florida, Paul and Elsa will be in Colorado (with Klaus and Noah!) But we will have a meet up using technology!

Merry Christmas up there in Heaven with your other family members! We know you will be looking down on us all. Love Louise, Alex, Tommy & Kevin xxxx

Dear Jim , Can't believe it is 8 years since you left us. We all still miss you. Even Dr. Pourkesali was mentioning you last week and was surprised it was 8 years! We are all getting ready for yet another Christmas. I will be alone but we are setting up a three way meeting(online) on Christmas day. Louise and the boys are still in Norway, although Alex is moving to London in January. Paul and Elsa are in Silverthorne Colorado.I am still in Palm Coast. All my love, Maureen

Dear Jim ,still missing you on the 58th anniversary of our wedding in 1964. I have just returned from visiting Paul and Elsa in the mountains of Colorado(Silverthorne). I suffered from altitude problems as they live at an altitude of over 10,000 feet and now I have had to readapt to sea level. Elsa still has the house in Miami .Louise and the boys (Alex and Kevin, Thomas didn't come this year)are now settled back in Norway. Alex is talking about relocating to London with some colleagues as there are many jobs in his line of work. Will keep you informed as to how things unfold!All my love, Maureen

Happy belated birthday Dad (Grandad). We sure do miss you. We finally got to see Mum again after 2 1/2 years. It was really nice to spend a month with her. We didn't get to see Paul and Elsa this time. But hopefully again soon! Tommy didn't come with this year he was busy working, he has a summer job.  We will go by your grave and put some flowers soon.  I know you weren't much for flowers, but it is to remember you and make your grave look nicer. I am in contact with your cousin Williams family in Florida (Vera's half brothers family), via myheritage. Looking forward to "talking" to them via email and getting to know them! Much love Louise, Alex, Tommy (and Cath) and Kevin! xxxxx

Happy Birthday Dad! We still miss you often especially on special days but are looking forward to Mum’s visit to our new house in Colorado.
Love,
Paul and Elsa

Dear Jim, Yet again we remember you on your Birthday. We all still miss you.Louise,Alex and Kevin have just been visiting . Alex returned on the 18th and Louise and Kevin yesterday. The arrived back in Oslo this morning and are overnighting in Kristiansand before driving back to Stavanger tomorrow. They haven't been for 21/2 years because of the pandemic.I am going up to Silverthorne( near Denver) where Paul has bought a house. They still have the house in Miami which is in Elsa's name because of the children.Love Maurren

Dear Dad and Grandad:

Another year has passed without you. We think of you often and speak about the memories we had with you. We have a lovely wreath for your grave. We will go up to you and lay it on the grave. This year we have an extra family member Thomas has a girlfriend named Catherine (or Cath as we call her). She seems to bring out Tommy’s happy side. Alex is still in Kristiansand working on his masters and work. Kevin is finishing up school by the summer and will be a Russ in April! Merry Christmas up there with your family members in Heaven!

Hi all Jim
is not forgotten be me
and I miss all my brothers and sisters at this time of year
Mike

Today we remember that terrible day seven years ago.
Much has happened since then . The world is in the grip of a terrible pandemic . This has been going on for two years and we now have a new variant . I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I haven’t seen Louise and the boys for two years. Paul and Elsa have visited a couple of times( at Thanksgiving)
Hopefully Louise and family will soon be able to visit and I will be able to travel to visit them.
Still missing you . Love Maureen

Dear Jim, Today would have been our 57th wedding anniversary. We all still miss you. There are many problems in the world at present! The pandemic is still here. Today, 16 years after Katrina, another catastrophic hurricane is due to hit New Orleans . All is well here and Paul has bought a house near Denver( finally)all my love, Maureen

Happy belated birthday! Busy here with a second job to earn some extra money! We think and speak of you often. Just had two weeks vacation in Norway with the boys, and Tommy’s girlfriend Cath. (And the pooches). Lots of love from the gang❤️

dear Jim, I posted a message yesterday but it didn't seem to register! I said how much we all still miss you everyday but especially on August 2nd ( It would have been your 85th Birthday) Everyone is well. Alex was the only one of us who contracted the dreaded virus( Covid 19) which is pandemic which refuses to go away despite a vaccine which is freely available We have all had it . Thankfully Alex wasn't serious enough to be hospitalized! Love Maureen

Dear Dad,
Just wanted to drop in to wish you a happy birthday. We all miss you and remember you today on your birthday.
Love,
Paul

Dear Grandad

Can't believe it's been six years. I still can't get used to telling people I don't have a grandad anymore. And I'm reminded of you everytime I remember stories from all the lovely and amazing vacations we've had together. Which is at least every other week! You and grandma always loved having us over every summer, and I always felt warm and welcome, in Texas and in Florida. Wish you could've seen us all grow up, wish we had more vacations together, but I charished every moment of the ones we had! And all the warm and fun memories we have together, is what keeps you alive in my life today!

Merry Christmas Grandad

Love Alex

Dear Dad,
Thought of you a lot yesterday, on the 6th year of your passing. We miss you lots and wish you were here in health to share the year's (odd) experiences with us.

As Mum and Louise mentioned there has been a global pandemic which has turned 2020 upside down. They now have a vaccine however that will be rolled out in 2021, so hopefully life will gradually return to normal. We will miss you at Christmas but we will all get together for a virtual call.

On a bright note, working remotely has allowed me to gradually begin my much discussed move (the Cullen thing) to Colorado, and hopefully Elsa will be able to join me full time in the not too distant future, once the kids are settled and the future is clearer. Gaby just began law school and is doing well, and Noah has started college and is also thriving. They both look forward to gaining the social aspect back though, as it is not just about academics.

Hope you are well up there and can enjoy Christmas with your brothers and sisters who are there as well as with old friends like Wayne.
Much Love,
Paul, Elsa, Gaby and Noah

6 years today you where on your way to visit us and you never made it. There is now a virus infecting the world so we can see Mum or Paul we all have to stay in our own countries!
We still miss you and think about you!

Dear Jim, I can't believe it is six years since you left us. Christmas is now upon us. This year will be different as we have to isolate due to a new rampant virus which is affecting the whole world. It is a good job we have technology(which is still my biggest problem!) as I am hoping to set up to talk to both Louise and family and Paul and Elsa and family on
Christmas day. The time differences mean that it will be at different times of the day in the three locations(Norway, Florida and Denver,Colorado)
  We all still miss you. As you will realise I am still in Palm Coast.

      Your loving wife,Maureen

Dear Jim, Today would have been our 56th wedding anniversary. We all still miss you .2020 has been a memorable year. The country is going through many problems ,a pandemic of a new virus(covid 19) ,race riots and shootings and then we have a general election on November 3 rd which is the most important in many, many years!The electorate has become so polarized!! Don't know what you would think about the situation!!Miss you and Love you. Your wife Maureen

Happy birthday Dad (Grandad) up there in Heaven! We visited your grave today for your birthday and left you some nice, but masculine flowers. It made me think about that it is 5 1/2 years since we lost you on that sad day. We are plodding along, we didn’t get to visit Mum and Paul this year because of the virus that is especially running rampid in Florida and alot of other places in the USA. You are forever missed!❤️ But never far from our thoughts!

Dear Dad,
Happy Birthday in Heaven on what would have been your 84th! Still missing having you around and thankful that all the wisdom you tried so patiently to instill is slowly taking hold at last. Mum and Louise have filled you in on most of the goings-on. I am up in the mountains of Colorado trying to find work in the Denver area. The summer is beautiful up here and taking a walk today I think you could have been at home in the Scandinavian-like climate and scenery. Wish you could visit. Elsa and the kids are down in Miami but they did visit in July and we all enjoyed the variety here. Elsa will visit again in September, by which time hopefully I will have secured something permanent up here in a place that reminds me a bit of the idyllic childhood you gave us in Norway.

We all miss you dearly and looking through all the photos in your album today reminds me of what a full life you had.

Love,
Paul

Dear Jim, We all still miss you. Today would have been your 84th Birthday. We are in the middle of a terrible pandemic and also expecting a tropical storm to impact us later today. Even so we keep on marching!! I am still in Palm Coast and still can't decide to move. Sounds familiar?Paul and Elsa are still planning on moving to Denver.Louise and the boys ,of course ,are still in Norway. Alex spent a semester at Moorhead College in Minnesota bur returned afterwards to Kristiansand as he couldn't go far because of the virus. All my love Maureen

Dear Dad:
5 years without you in our midst. It seems a lifetime ago we where waiting for you to come to Christmas. Mum made it this year. We where all together at Paul’s wedding this summer and you where missed. The «boys» are growing. Alex is taking his Masters and off to Minesota for 4-5 months in January! Tommy is a dog expert. And Kevin is trying to figure his way to a future. I am doing my masters, and hopefully that will give me a new job when I am done. Merry Christmas to you from all of us!

Dear Dad, echoing Mum’s thoughts below we all miss you after 5 years - your wisdom, your strength, your gentleness - all the things that the whole family loved you for. Mum, Louise and the lads should be visiting you today with a nice wreath. I will be with them in spirit and hopefully in person soon. As Mum mentioned I married Elsa this year on Golden, Colorado. We would have loved to have you there of course but hopefully you are looking down. Finally got my masters and working on CPA. So all grown up now, almost....Miss you lots. Love Paul, Elsa and Gaby and Noah

Dear Jim,Still missing you. I am in Stavanger with Louise,Alex,Thomas and Kevin for Christmas this year.We will visit you on Monday.Paul and Elsa ,Gaby and Noah are going to Whistler for Christmas( skiing) Their wedding went well in Denver in Colorado. We all went up there in July. Alex was Best Man. All my love Maureen

Dear Jim, I am thinking of you today on what would have been our 55th wedding anniversary. still missing you a lot. All my love Maureen

Missing you today on your birthday. We are traveling back to Norway from visiting Mum in Florida! You where missed and talked about at Paul’s wedding. We have talked about you a lot this summer! Happy birthday up there in Heaven with all our loved ones. Will stop by your grave with some flowers asap! Love Louise & Kevin✈️❤️

Dear Jim, We are all still thinking of you. Today would have been your 83rd Birthday. Some family news is that Paul and Elsa got married on July 13th in Golden(near Denver) Colorado. Louise ,Alex ,Thomas and Kevin flew over and then we all flew to Denver for 4 nights to attend the wedding. Alex was both Best Man and the official photographer. Louise and Thomas are now at Gatwick awaiting their flight back to Stavanger. Alex and Thomas flew back on July 22nd, as they are both working.All my love Maureen

Dear Dad/Grandad;
You are always missed, but live on in our memories and thoughts. Alex is doing well on his own, working to build his future, and believe it or not Tommy finally has grown up and has developed into a nice young man. Has a job. Now living on his own (or with his ❤️, Alpha the dog. ) Kevin is still developing and has a journey ahead to adulthood! Christmas and especially this day is always a reminder that you are no longer with us. We will visit your grave with a beautiful wreath, which Mum was able to help pick out through the wonders of modern technology! Merry Christmas up there in Heaven, I am sure it will be a Cullen fest. ❤️Louise, Alex, Tommy and Kevin!

Dear Dad,
Thinking of you on the fourth anniversary of your passing. We miss you down here, but are all blessed with all the memories and wisdom you have left with us. There was a time when I was younger when I thought I wouldn't be able to go on without you around, but now I see that through your life you equipped all of us with the tools to go on. Thanks so much for being such a fine father.
Love you,
Paul

Dear Jim, Another year has passed since that unforgettable day in 2014.We all still miss you. This Christmas Paul and Elsa will be here for a few days. I will miss spending it with Louise,Alex,Thomas and Kevin.They are going to visit you on Saturday. Paul and Elsa got engaged this year during a trip to Paris where you spent a couple of years while in the RAF. Yours always Maureen

Dear Jim, Today would have been our 54th wedding anniversary. It is difficult to believe that it is almost 4 years since you left us. You would be happy,I am sure, that Harry has been in touch after so many years. We have been catching up on the last 50+ years. Reminiscing on years spent in Derby including visits to jazz clubs both in Derby and Nottingham. Of course the "Bell" has also been mentioned!! He is married with three sons and is still in Australia. Paul visited 2 weeks ago and Louise + Kevin were here for 3 weeks during July. Alex and Kevin are now working so couldn"t accompany her. I am still in Florida. Much love Maureen

Another year has gone past with out us being able to talk to you and see you! The boys are growing into young men. Thomas is working now, he got to work with animals, maybe not alligators, but dogs. Alex is working to support himself so he can have his own media business. Maybe the next hollywood director! Kevin has a few years to go but would love to be a cook. It is sad that you aren’t here to see them growing up, but guessing your keeping an eye on us all from Heaven! Today I planted some flowers for you on your grave. Happy birthday and we miss you.

Dear Dad,
I miss you today on your birthday. I think all of us do. Louise dropped by your memorial and put flowers on today. We miss your wisdom and kindness.
By the way I got engaged to Elsa in July so I know you’d have been happy about that.
Happy Birthday and we miss you.
Love,
Paul

Dear Jim, Thinking of you today on your Birthday. We all still miss you a lot and I am still here in Florida. Louise and Kevin have just been for their annual visit. It was a nice surprise that Harry posted a tribute on this site after us losing contact for over 50 years.  Love forever ,Maureen

I have just stumbled across this web page and would like to tell Maureen how much I enjoyed my friendship with her and Jim, when I lived in Derby before moving to Australia. Jim was a lovely man and I was honoured to attend their wedding! I last saw Jim and Maureen in 1967 when they lived in Belper on a visit to UK and they kindly offered me a night's accommodation. I hope I can contact Maureen to update our lives.
Warm Regards from Harry Morgan.

Merry Christmas Dad (and Granddad)...
We miss you. We are together for Christmas (except Paul who is skiing in BANFF, lucky guy!). We have been up to visit your grave and laid a wreath. Wish you where here with us all. Love Louise, Tommy, Kevin, Alex and Maureen xxxx

Dear Dad,
A few days late but I know you'd expect that. Miss you very often especially at this time of year. You're always in the whole family's thoughts and always missed. Glad Mum, Louise and the kids could visit this Xmas. Love, Paul

Dear Jim, we all miss you so much. I am in Norway celebrating Christmas with Louise,Alex,Thomas and Kevin. We are all going to visit you to share our memories. All my love Maureen

Happy 81st birthday Dad/Grandad . We still miss you alot! Like Alex said you where a great rolemodel and a big part of all our lives. I still hear your voice everytime I think what would Dad have done! We planted some lovely flowers on your grave for your birthday. Lots of love Louise, Thomas and Kevin xxx

I miss you grandad, every day. You taught me so much that I'll never forget. In some ways I still think of you as alive back in Florida with grandma, and everytime I do it hurts to think that you are not. You were one of the greatest role models and men in my life, and I will never forget you. Happy 81st birthday to the best grandad a grandson could ever hope for!

You are still, and always will be, missed. I especially think of you today which would have been your 81st Birthday. Your loving wife Maureen
