My mum Jean sadly passed away suddenly at Christmas time, a time of year she loved so much.
She was an amazing mum and Nan and we all found it so hard without her and unable to enjoy Christmas. Her nick name was Barnet as she always had immaculate hair.
When our family noticed the pier did not have a Christmas tree, we decided to donate a tree every year to the pier and make it a memory tree for my mum Barnet, for everyone to come along and hang a bauble on, in memory of their loved ones.
It has helped us so much as a family to be able to do something so special at Christmas in her memory and we hope it will help others to remember their loved ones.
Every year we love to see how full the tree gets with so many different baubles.
Love Julie, Natalie, and Joanne
