Every week, the Northwich & Winsford Guardian publishes death notices and funeral announcements from the families of loved ones who have died.

As well as appearing in print, our death notice pages will remain online as a lasting tribute to the memory of those we have lost.

Anyone who wishes to send their own message of condolence can do so by visiting the deceased's death notice page.

January 4, 2018. Treasured memories of my dearly beloved husband, Bobby (Robbo).

It's been six long and very lonely years since you left me. My life is so empty without you, I think about you every single day.

I try to think about our happy days, but it`s just so sad without you. I just wish you were back here by my side, as we were married for 52 happy years.

I love and miss you so very much. Always loved, always remembered. Your broken-hearted wife, Cindy xxxx
