Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a long-standing tradition and we are proud of the trust placed in us to make these important announcements. Every day the ECHO print edition carries tributes in its death notices for those who have lost a loved one recently and our condolences go out to all.

It gives people a chance to celebrate the lives of loved ones and pay respects to the health and care teams who looked after them. The announcements also often share information regarding funerals, fundraising and flowers.

You can see the full list of family announcements by visiting the Liverpool ECHO section of our partner website funeral-notices.co.uk . Here are the notices published in the ECHO over the last week.

(Dougherty) Although I can't hear her voice or see her smile once more, I know Mum still walks beside me just as she did before. She will still listen to my stories and wipe away my tears, wrap her arms around me and understand my fears. It's just mum's no longer visible to see her eye to eye, but I can talk to her in silence knowing her spirit will reply. I still feel the love she had for me - I feel it in my heart; mum's left us now but our souls will never part. Mum is with us always, first in her lifetime, then forever in our memory. Your loving, devoted and broken hearted son Kevin and partner Paula xx

Joan Bramhill (Dougherty)

(Dougherty) Mum was a person who believed in life's bright side, I know, because she helped me to find it many times. She was someone who considered other's feelings first, I know, because she's always cared for mine. Mum was a friend who would stop everything else to listen, she was a special source of understanding and gave me hope and help in any way she could. She was always the guiding light for me. I know how wonderful my mum was but what I wish for is just one more moment in time to let her know how much she meant to me. We love you mum and will miss you dearly your broken hearted Daughter Sheila and Son in Law Michael. You will be in our hearts forever Nana. Good night and God bless your loving Granddaughter Jennifer, Partner Craig, Grandson Tom and Great Granddaughter Thea Joan x

Peter Victor Smith, age 54 of Hudson passed away Tuesday, January 17, 2023. He was born May 16, 1968 in Warrington, United Kingdom, and grew up in Liverpool. Peter is preceded in death by his parents, Roger Victor and Thelma Elizabeth (nee Young) Smith. He is survived by his beloved wife Clare (nee Bullen) Smith; his loving children; Thomas (Tommy) James Smith and Holly Elizabeth Ann Smith. Peter studied in Liverpool, Derby and Southampton, becoming a Chartered Management Accountant in 1994. As a student in Liverpool he met Clare and they were happily married for over 26 years, sharing so many cherished memories together. Family and friends meant everything to Peter and he was immensely proud of his two children and the caring, compassionate young adults they have become. Dogs were also a huge part of Peter's family and he could regularly be seen enjoying a walk with his faithful companions. Always active, Peter ran a number of marathons over the years. Biking was also a great love and he spent many hours riding in the Cuyahoga Valley with his friends. He was an avid traveller and was always planning his next adventure - family ski trips, exploring different continents with friends or creating memories on father/son and father/daughter trips. In his career life Peter was the Division Vice President, Finance at Ametek, in Kent, Ohio. He joined Ametek in 1998 as a Group Controller, first working in England before moving to the Kent, Ohio office in 2004. He approached his work with the same integrity and drive he applied to all aspects of his life. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial contributions be made in Peter's memory to the American Heart Association (www.heart.org) or the British Heart Foundation.
