Words of love and memories during a lifetime exceed even the richest of riches when it comes to someone's final moments. And those messages also act as comfort, closure and a sounding board for thoughts and wishes long after someone has left this world.
That's why each week Bristol Live shares the messages and tributes of those who have recently passed, or those who have been gone for longer, right here on our page in the form of death and funeral notices. These tributes tell of lifetimes spent together, adventures embarked on, loves that have stood the test of time, sibling love that is incomparable, the luck of simply knowing someone, or a friend that made life all the more special.
Some of these tributes have been sent straight to the Bristol Post - as death and funeral announcements and even messages shared to commemorate the anniversary of the death of a loved one. This week we're listing those dated May 20 to May 27, in alphabetical order by surname.
