Final Reminder for Mother’s Day – Hearts of Gold 🀍

With Mother’s Day tomorrow, this is a gentle final reminder that there is still time this evening to submit a Heart of Gold tribute in memory of a much-loved mum or someone who held a special motherly place in your life.

For many, Mother’s Day can be a time of reflection as we remember those who are no longer with us but remain forever in our hearts. A few simple words can be a beautiful way to honour their memory.

If you would like to take part, you can still submit your message tonight by visiting:

https://www.dlhancock.co.uk/mothers-day/

Your message will become part of our Hearts of Gold remembrance, helping create a shared space where our community can remember and celebrate the love our mums brought into our lives.

With kind thoughts to all who will be remembering their mum tomorrow.
Darren & the all team at D L HANCOCK LTD

and Mother’s Day is only a few days away – a gentle reminder

With Mother’s Day approaching this Sunday, we would like to gently remind our community that there is still time to share a Heart of Gold message in memory of a much-loved mum or someone who held a special motherly place in your life.

For many people, Mother’s Day can bring mixed emotions. Taking a moment to write a few words of remembrance can be a meaningful way to honour those we miss and keep their memory shining.

If you would like to take part, you can submit your Heart of Gold tribute message here:

https://www.dlhancock.co.uk/mothers-day/

Each message becomes part of our Hearts of Gold tribute, helping to create a space where memories and love for our mums can be shared by the whole community.

With kind thoughts to everyone remembering their mum this Mother’s Day.

Today, 3rd March, we are pleased to share the launch of our Mother’s Day β€œHearts of Gold” tribute page on our website.

We chose the name Hearts of Gold because we believe all mums have a heart of gold β€” full of love, kindness and quiet strength.

Mother’s Day can be a time of reflection as well as celebration. Our tribute page offers families the opportunity to leave a short message in memory of a much-loved mum or mother figure, creating a shared space of remembrance within our community.

This invitation is open to everyone. Whether we have had the privilege of supporting your family in the past or not, all members of our community are warmly welcome to write a message in memory of someone special.

If you would like to take part, you can add your message here:

πŸ‘‰ https://www.dlhancock.co.uk/mothers-day/

We hope this gentle space brings comfort to those remembering someone special this Mother’s Day.
