to miss
Não existe uma palavra única que substitua a palavra saudade em inglês. O mais próximo é o verbo to miss = sentir saudade.
Ex: I miss my husband Gary - Tenho saudades de meu marido Gary
Ex: I miss my husband Gary - Tenho saudades de meu marido Gary

Fond Remembrance
Other meanings are: longing/yearning for someone, nostalgia and homesickness.

Nostalgia
I agree with the other answers. In this context I prefer nostalgia, although as clearly pointed out in another answer, there is no single word in English that fully reflects it.

: I guess that this is OK for a column header in a newpaper, if the article is mentioning people who have died or things that belong to the past, usually referred to as "the good old times"

Hi, I suggest a look at www.nwemail.co.uk and look in right-hand column, then look in "memories"(left-hand column) - yesterday's edition -.This is exactly the case.
