Hi my sweetheart, well its nearly Xmas, I always laugh at this because you didn't really like Xmas did you? You will have our loving daughter Karen with you this year to make things better. I cannot believe it is nearly a year since she passed, but she went through so much for a long time didn't she? So I am glad she is out of pain now. I'm so glad I was with her and watched her take her last breath, stroking her face and speaking to her. God bless her. I think of you so much my love and still miss you and wish we were together again. I will speak to you again soon. My deepest love sent to you. God bless you my darling. LOVE you forever. Your loving wife. xxxx

Hi sweetheart, sorry I'm late. Happy Heavenly Birthday my darling. I have just got back from your first great grandson's Birthday Party. He was so good and Gary and Gem put on a lovely spread. There were lots of his cousins and friends there and he was a perfect little boy. He is the image of his daddy and Gary is so good with him and he idolizes his daddy.
Craig and Katy came down and even your son Graham came for a while.
Anyway my darling I think of you every day and still miss you so very much. I hope our daughter Karen is with you as we lost her seven months ago, kiss her for me and tell her I miss her so much. The girls are doing ok. God bless my darling, see you soon. Love you so much, your loving wife Joan. xxxxx

Morning my darling,a very Happy in Heaven Christmas. I know you didn't like Christmas much but you were never sad and always tried to enjoy yourself. It will be quite an emotional time this year as our lovely daughter Karen is in a Hospice. Her Lymphoma has come back and there is nothing that can be done, so she is in God's hands now. I know when it happens you will welcome her into your arms and look after her.Sorry its not good news my darling, I just feel so alone and helpless. Your grandson Stevie is beautiful, he sleeps all through the night now bless him. If he grows up like his daddy he won't go far wrong will he? I'm going to Sue's Christmas Eve but coming home the same night so that I can go with the family to see Karen on Christmas Day. I miss you so very much sweetheart, look after yourself and I will be thinking of you. My love forever, your loving wife Joan. xxxxxx

Hi my darling, sorry I'm late, I couldn't sign in and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to speak to you. I wish you could see your great grandson Stephen, Gary's son. He is absolutely gorgeous and smiles and tries to speak to you. He was born in July and after a little blip to start with he soon picked up and is now healthy and growing fast. I just wish you were here with me to share this lovely part of our lives. You would be so proud of Gary, he has taken to fatherhood brilliantly and is besotted with his son. Karen has had a few mishaps but seems to have picked up again. I cannot believe our Daughter will be 60 next month, bless her. Well my darling, I must go now, speaking to you makes me happy but also sad. I will love you forever and I hope you will be waiting for me when God calls me. Take care my darling, my love always. Your loving wife, Joan. xxxxxxx

Happy 86th Birthday my darling. I cannot believe you would have been this age if you were not taken from me. Karen's Tony is probably with you now as he passed recently, so look after him for her please. We would have been married 61yrs next month, if only we could have celebrated that together.
We have a new great grandson born last week, three weeks early so he is still in hospital trying to catch up with his due date. He is absolutely beautiful with a head of dark hair like his mum. I hope he turns out like his daddy as he was such a lovely lad wasn't he when he was little? You would not like this heat and couldn't play golf if you were here, it is too hot for anything. We have Tony's funeral on Wednesday and I must admit I am not looking forward to it, its going to be very sad.
I love and miss you still my darling, I will speak on our Anniversary next month. Until then RIP my darling and remember just how much I love you.
Take care, love you with all my Heart. Your loving wife Joan. xxx

Hello my darling, here we are again, another Christmas without you. Although you didn't like it much you always perked up when you received a new Golf Club or anything to do with Golf. I am spending it with Susie on Xmas Eve, Gary and Gem are holding Xmas Day at their house so I am picking Craig, Katy and Nicole up and taking them so they can have a drink. Karen is doing Boxing Day this Year, she didn't feel like doing Xmas Day. I always think of you more at times like this when all the family are together. I still don't know where the ten years have gone. If Lynn is there with you give her my love, I miss our chats together, bless her. Take care my darling and just remember just how much I love and miss you. I will be with you some day. Merry Xmas my darling up in Heaven. We will speak again soon. LOVE YOU Tony. xxxxxxx

Hello my darling, here we are again. I cannot believe it is ten years since God took you. We would have celebrated our 60th Wedding Anniversary in August just gone, but it wasn't to be. I just wish we had been given more time to be together. I feel so alone sometimes when a song or something else reminds me of you, but then I think of the wonderful loving times we spent together on holidays and just being together. I know you are watching over me and the family. I love and miss you more as time passes. Until we meet in Heaven I send you all my love darling from my Heart. Love from your loving wife Joan. xxxxx

A Happy Heavenly 85th Birthday my darling. I cannot believe you would have been 85 today. I just wish you were here so that me and the family could celebrate it with you. I miss you more as I get older and just wish you were still here with me. All the family are well and missing you. It would have been our 60th wedding Anniversary on August 19th and it would have been so lovely if we could have spent it together. You are always in my Heart darling and I will be with you in Heaven one day. Love you forever, Joan xxxxx

Hello my darling, another year has passed since God took you from us. I cannot believe it is nine years. I miss you more with each year that passes and we would have been married for 59 years last August, I just wished you could have been with me to celebrate that. Craig and Katy came down for my 80th Birthday and did a lovely afternoon tea for me, my grandsons are the best. Gary and Gem did my shopping when I couldn't go out. You would not have liked how it is now, you couldn't play golf so you would have been an old moaner, bless you. Take care my darling and continue to RIP. Remember I love you with all my HEART. Your loving wife Joan. xxxxxxx

Happy Birthday my darling. You would have been 84 today. I so wish you could have celebrated it here with me. I miss and love you so very much, it isn't very nice being here alone and even worse since this dreadful virus. You would have been so cross that you couldn't go and play golf with your mates, but most of them are up there with you so I hope you have a good game with them. We would have been married 59yrs next month, I wish we could have celebrated it together. Take care sweetheart, speak again soon. Love you forever, always in my Heart. xxxxxx
