This is our first Christmas without Dad, Maurice Willoughby, whom we lost in January. We miss him so much and Christmas will not be the same without him. Thank you to the wonderful St Barnabas nurses who cared for Dad during those difficult final weeks. Our family is so indebted to you all for your love and support.

Missed dearly and still very much loved.
Forever in our hearts xx

In memory of a beloved wife who was taken far too young

Chris – Although 8 years ago, not a day goes by when I don’t think of my mum. Far more than when she was with us – a lesson to be shared – hug your mum tight if you are still lucky enough to have her. My mum passed away aged 63. We knew her wishes and we were honored to support her decision in the sharing of her organs. Two people’s lives were saved that day, many more improved and that is the little light at the end of dark path of sadness. She lives on, somewhere. Her gift made sure those people’s families got to celebrate another year with their loved one, and for that I am immensely proud of her. Best mum, kind to the core. X

They made Christmas so very special for me I hope they know I am thinking of them ❤️

At Christmas time you are missed the most. We love you

The light of Jesus shines through all those who work in St. Barnabas
Hospice. Thank you so much for your love and support.

You are always in my heart Rod, I will love you always and forever ❤️????❤️????❤️

I miss you so much. I will think of you when I am in Australia at Christmas, just as you had told me I had to go. Wish you could be with me. Love you forever.Andy x

Remembering our Christmas' spent together. Knitted jumpers, toys, and toilet roll holders! Family Boxing Days at Auntie Doreen's. Nativity plays, paper hats, Christmas crackers, and Christmas dinner with those alone at Burland Court! Getting tipsy, Mum's infamous sherry trifle, Dad washing the Christmas pots! So many memories for us to treasure, of my dear Mum and Dad and our wonderful Grandad and Nanny, With all our love Susan, Charlotte & David xxx

In memory of a lovely dad and grandad.

My father who art in heaven..
A prayer couldnt save you from what came,
Although now I whisper your name,
Every day and every night
It's a hug I need, and to hold you tight.
On Christmas day, I will set your place, and pour your drink, play your games, then shut my eyes to see your face.
Merry Xmas dad, your presence will always be felt. X

Loved and missed every day, but more so at Christmas, Gary, the biggest kid of all at Christmas, held in all our hearts whilst remembering all the brilliant Christmas's we enjoyed together. Special kisses for grandad from Brooke, Blake, Seb and Elody xxxx

Always on my mind, forever in my heart

Gill. Although you are not with us in person we see you and feel you every day in our hearts, and we have some of the best conversations. We still go everywhere together hand in hand and we always will. I hear you shout encouragement to the boys when they play football and I know they feel your support. We love you so much, Kevin, Claire Brett Rosie, Stuart Heidi Jayden Jacob & Jess xxxxxxxxx

My wonderful Dad was a loving and caring Dad and Grandad. His birthday was a week before Christmas. We always made it special for him with it being so close to celebrating Christmas. He felt he missed out when he was younger! We always had a family get together – a birthday tea on the 18th December. When we were little and later when our children were small we knew it would be a week until Santa would have visited. I have wonderful memories of my Dad. He is deeply missed every day. Happy Christmas my darling Dad. Forever in our hearts.
Love Karen, Jim and Michael xxx

HER SMILE WOULD LIGHT UP A ROOM. THE MOST SELFLESS AND CARING DAUGHTER ANY FATHER COULD ASK FOR. LOVED HER SO MUCH.
