Christmas has lost its sparkle for me since the loss of both my soulmate, David, and many of our respective family members. I still embrace the religious significance, but sorely miss our family getting together to enjoy this very special celebration.

In memory of Momma – always loved – never forgotten xx

remembered with much love

A wonderful husband, father and friend to many who was helped to end his days peacefully at home by the loving care of the Macmillan, St Barnabas and Marie Curie nurses.

Torridon, a visit this year brought back such happy memories

Mum passed away in March, just 7 weeks after celebrating her 100th birthday with a small party and her precious card from the Queen.

Christmas will be very different and you will be sadly missed by the family, but we have lots of happy memories to share ????

Love Lynne, Tim, Ruth, Ed, Rebecca x

Grandad Barry was the greatest of all time, he played the role of Grandad and Dad all our life, we miss him every day, hope we’ve made you proud xx

Love you Dad ….miss you everyday
Xx

Our first Christmas without you Dad, so very missed every day and always with so much love from us all xxx

Dear Dad,
Each day I miss you and wish you were here
But how blessed am I to have so many precious memories that keep you near.
I listen for you in the music we enjoyed and shared
And, even though a tear may fall, my spirits are lifted and I know you're not far away at all.
Love you Dad – always.

Remembering our lovely Lizzie . Missed and loved by us all every day.

Because Fluffy shone brightly every day of her life and I miss her every day xx

To our wonderful Mother the kindest person in the world. We think of you every day and you will stay in our hearts forever. We love you so much xxxx

During my daughter’s life we would often attend events to raise money for St Barnabas not thinking that one day at age 30 she would receive amazing care from the hospice nurses. We miss her everyday but especially at Christmas when we all get together.

My brother died at St Barnabas December 2017. Miss him so much. Will always be grateful for the care he recieved at St Barnabas xx

Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

We know you're so proud of us all xxx

Our wonderful Grandad who gave us the most amazing memories. We love and miss you, more than words. Wishing you a heavenly Merry Christmas. Sending all our love and a special kiss from Lilia ❤️

We miss you both so much. It's our first Christmas without you Nan and it won't be the same but we'll be thinking of you. We love you xx

Missed Mum more this year than ever before. I became a Granny and would so loved her to have met baby Martha Melly.

Remembering my dear husband this Christmas as I do every day since June 2018 when he passed away. I know he would want me to say thanks once again for the tender care he received from your wonderful nurses. I will be forever grateful, thankyou.
