Each week BristolLive shares the tributes left by family members and friends for their loved ones who have gone but not forgotten. And each message expresses the memory of those who lost their lives very recently or a long time ago.
And even though it is often difficult to put in words the value the individual once had in this world, a safe place online to share their legacy with others is a great way to keep their memory alive forever.
So right here on our page in the form of death and funeral notices, we have compiled a list from October 22 until October 28 that is filled with warm, loving messages written and posted by family, friends and acquaintances.

Dad, five years ago today, my old life ended when I lost you. I still can’t believe how life can change in a moment. It feels like yesterday. It’s hard knowing that life will never be the same or complete again. My mind still talks to you, my heart still looks for you but my soul knows you’re at peace. Despite this, my heart breaks every time I think of you which is every day. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
When you died we lost so much love, comfort, peace, reassurance and hope - just existing was hard. It’s taken until now to build a new normal. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear. I know you’re watching over us Dad. We love you so much and feel your love living on.
From your favourite umbrella that keeps us dry in the rain to feeling peace when I sit in your chair and the plant, you gave me those flowers in the kitchen. You are always with me and your memory lives on. The grief that I feel is simply love and I loved you so much. You gave us so much. Even in death, you have given us a gift - a new appreciation for life, to know what is important, as well as to enjoy the simple things. Forever our Numero Uno - the best dad and grandad anyone could wish for. Until we meet again - all my love, for now and always H x.
