Christmas stars for lost love ones

Every Christmas my church has a big christmas tree and a box of stars, that you wright the name of a missing loved one on and hang on the tree to be remembered in the christmas prayers.
I was wondering if we could have a mums net thread the same?
I know we miss our loved ones and friends all the time but at special times of the year the pain and memoreys are in out thoughts more.
Epecially for those lost over the reacent year.
So here goes. I will be remembering

Richard howard (died this year)
Jakie (died this year)
Roger Price (died this year)

My nan,(1994) My dad,(1984) My father in law (2001) and My best friend (1989)

My beautiful little girl who i love and miss with every inch of my heart.

Christmas in our house is a time of joy for our other two children but a time of deep heartache and unbelievable sadness that our first born daughter who would be 3 years old now will not be here to open her presents on christmas morning.

Missing more than I believed possible, my mum who passed away 23rd December 2005, and my dad who passed away 9th January 2002.....

We will raise a glass (or two) in your memory, and try to create the great Christmas spirit for our DD that you both created for us.

Love and miss you so much, your loving daughter.....
