Your thoughts

I would like to thank Lasting Tribute for the most wonderful pages dedicated to my late brother Tony Parry, who sadly died in November 2009. Both my family and myself visit your site each day and take so much comfort from seeing the very moving tributes to our lovely Tony. Thank you for being there for us, it is a real tonic to visit your site. Elaine Chamberlain
I just wanted to let you know that 'Lasting Tribute' has been such a great comfort to the family and friends of the late Tony Parry — since the traumatic death of Tony in November 2009. It has been a great thrill in a sad time to see the tributes to Tony grow. I know too that his family have gained so much comfort from logging on and reading so many special memories and tributes. Your site is wonderful, and THANK YOU for being there — for so many people! Paul Gough
The tribute page is a great idea for those of us not nearby to feel 'connected'. Susan Marsh
Many, many thanks. Your organisation has been magnificently helpful and efficient all through this terrible process for us. Much appreciated... and now we have such wonderful & lasting memories from all over the world, some spontaneous & others showing deeper & planned responses. All wonderful! Colleen Spruce
Just had to let you know the candles arrived at 7.30 am today, what efficient service. They are wonderful, very very pleased and had to admit I did shed a few tears at seeing my son Ian's candle. Thank you once again I will definitely recommend you and your service to others. Best wishes. Jill Palmer
I received my memorial candle yesterday and I have to say I am absolutely thrilled with it. I've bought it for my mum and I know she will be delighted with it. Thank you so much. Tracy Jory
I would like to say your site is wonderful and gives such a great way to express loss and sympathy. Mac Macdonald
In my view, Lasting Tribute is very worthwhile. In our frantic world, it's good to see a site which pauses to reflect the loss of various talented individuals and provides space for others to pay tribute to them. I think it's a lovely concept. Andy Brett
Your site is so wonderful because it allows people to openly express how they feel for much loved relatives, friends, old school pals, comrades and neighbours etc. Your site allows people to grieve and to share the agonising pain of losing someone close and believe me I feel for them when I read the tributes so anyone else reading them who has an ounce of empathy will also feel for them. Each time a tribute is read then loving thoughts are sent out to those suffering bereavement, just like a much needed giant hug. Through your site I send my love to anyone who is suffering loss and wish you strength to cope. Valerie
This site is a wonderful place to remember all the loved ones people have lost, and write all their memories and thoughts about them. Thank you! Tina Goold
I had a telephone call from my sister who received the candle today. She was absolutely overwhelmed with it. She was very emotional too. She added that it was beautifully done and of a high standard. Thank you for bearing with me and I will be using and recommending this wonderful site to all my friends and family. Once again, thanks for being so courteous and kind to me. Bea Mooney
Well done to the staff who run this site. It's very touching that there is somewhere like this to come and remember people. Keep up the good work. Andrea Corker
Great service, the site is a brilliant way of sharing memories of someone special to friends and family. Gill Devgon
Many thanks for your swift response. It's so refreshing to contact a company and get both an immediate reply and, crucially, some action – WELL DONE! Barbara Witowska
Thank you for the service you provide. Gordon Dodds
Lasting Tribute is a great website and I am so pleased I found you! Luke Richardson
I much prefer this new layout for bereavements, much improved from the last one. Thank you Sheila Lewson
This is such a useful service, especially as it's nationwide. It's like having everyone's local paper. Isabel Syed
Just a short to note to thank you and your organisation for the wonderful Tribute Page. To be able to post a message being so far away is really fantastic. Many thanks also for your condolences, that was a lovely touch. Kind Regards, Rhonda, Australia
We as a family are so pleased that at last we can voice our feelings for our sad loss. My daughter found this site and now my son’s wife and children in the USA have somewhere to remember him. Thank you so much. Mary Forbes
What a wonderful site of remembrance, incredibly touching and dignified. Jenny Jarvie
Would like to say what a lovely site this is. As you can see Gareth was well loved and it's so nice that all of his friends and loved ones can leave a memory of him that will last for years. Edward Cooney
I think dedicating a tree is such a lovely gesture to make for someone who is no longer with us and I know my Aunty in particular will be very touched to think somewhere out there is a tree dedicated to the memory of her much loved Son. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending your website to others. Carolyn Smith
I find your site excellent. I came on your site while browsing. I was struck by the original idea of giving people who would otherwise not have the chance to express their feelings towards people who are no longer with us and have perhaps given us something special from their personal work of just their way of life. Bravo. Kindest, Reginald Gray
This is a nice simple but effective site. Antony Saunders
As a former serviceman I have served in Iraq and other hostile places, I am very impressed with the site as a whole. I have fallen comrades who are on the site and I must say it is an excellent virtual Memorial tribute for all. Keep up the excellent work - this site is a national treasure and something we can all be proud of to remember our loved ones, not only today but for years to come. Lee Blunt, former Queens Royal Lancers
Thank you and all your team for your sterling efforts. Michael Fraser Townend
I just wanted to congratulate you on what is a beautiful and obviously comforting site to many. Karen Messer
This site is a fitting tribute to all those who have crossed the other side. This site has opened up to me a whole new world of people… and for that I thank all the people who are behind this site. Ruth Rayment
It's important for the Royal British Legion to keep making everyone aware what sacrifices people have made and Lasting Tribute is a valuable resource to help us all do just that. With cutting edge technology, Lasting Tribute has turned a difficult and sensitive time into an opportunity for us to remember our loved ones and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us all, very easy. Joseph Dublin, Head of Corporate & Trusts Relations
I had recently visited my sister in Derby when I was informed she had terminal cancer so I came back to the USA and she passed away. It was too far to go back but the wonderful thoughts on your site made me feel very close and a sort of peace. Thank you and bless you. Eric Harrison
I am so impressed with the prompt responses, so thank you! This little exercise has prompted me to look through the site at length and I think you people have done a sterling job. It is nice to acknowledge feelings in such a way. Thanks again for your support in this matter – it is not only family you are helping here!! Krystyna
I just want to be able to thank you for making this website available to those of us who grieve. It has taken me 5 years to get to this point – and I want it known that you are helping in my grieving process. I would also like to praise the simplicity, ease of use of the site, its presentation and ethos which is helping me to move forward in my grieving process. Many thanks Jean Longley
I have just stumbled upon this site by accident, and had to write to you to say what a fabulous idea it is! My mum and dad passed away when I was just six years old, within three months of each other, and my brother was too distraught to think about the fact that we might have liked a stone or other memorial. The existence of this website provides peace for countless bereaved people. Bless you all, and keep up the great work! Denise
I want to say thank you so much Lasting Tribute Team. I'm a session musician/singer/entertainer who used to work for:- Brian Connolly (The Sweet), Tammy Wynette (The Lady of Country and Western), Alton Ellis (The King of Rocksteady). Keep up the good work. Take care & Godbless you all. Errol Nicholson, aka Black Steel
The site is very well laid out and I shall be telling my family and friends. It's great to have caring people without a very clear commercial objective to take advantage of people in times of sadness and grief. regards Jason Parker
I'd like to say a big thank you to you, your team. With my photos and your input you have helped me try to come to terms with what I saw that tragic day. Keep up the good work you are doing, it's a great site you have created. Chas Gallagher
Just when I felt the whole world had forgottten my daughter Laura I looked on this site to find comfort in the message her friend Katie had left. Thank you for creating this contact. Carol McKnight
What a sleek operation you are running here. And what efficient service from a team that demands nothing by way of compensation! Vuyo Babalo Mkhize
I think this site is a wonderful thing. I lost my brother in 2006 and am still grieving for him.

Thankyou. Debbie Bagguley

And you have certainly done that today also. Tricia O’Sullivan
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your Lasting Tribute site.

I think the site is a wonderful idea… people have an inner need to keep their loved ones as close as possible and to feel that they have not and will not be forgotten …so this site helps the bereaved to feel they are actively keeping their loved ones memories alive. The site is well laid out… easy to understand and the staff are very prompt and offer a first class customer service when ever needed at the click of a button every time....well done!!! Deborah Weaver

I think it is a wonderful site, and enables everyone to see and know who appreciated and cared about people who have passed. Eileen Hampsey

What a wonderful site you have. Thank you for letting me place my thoughts on your site. GJ
Lasting Tribute is a fantastic concept and a wonderful way of remembering someone special. It has given me a lot off comfort over the last few months and the knowledge that anyone can also see it is of great satisfaction. Both family and friends have been on the site and this gives a sense of togetherness in this time of great sadness. People should be made aware of the site right from the point of initially arranging the funeral. Ian Bayley
Thank you very much for your help and consideration to my 'moan'. It is very nice to know that people do actually listen and are prepared to send replies to these sort of queries. Caroline L

I cannot thank you enough for helping me with these emails, the loss of my dear brother had been terrible, but hopefully I will be able to get some lovely memories from some of his friends… My heartfelt thanks to you and your team Denise Savage
