It’s about this time of year when you’d be enjoying a cherry brandy or two!
It may have been many years but I still miss you Granny
Love Fi xx

Grandad,
We especially miss you at this time of year, you loved Christmas and the excitement (and aggravation) that came with it. You were such a big part of our family christmases.
My fondest Christmas memories were staying at Grandma and Grandad's from Christmas eve until January!

Thank you for all the wonderful memories.
All our love Lizzie, Sean, Rupert and Felix xxxx

Always, every day, I remember our love.

Loving dad, grandad, friend to many so sorely missed.

My son was only in the care of the hospice a few days, but the care and support we received was second to none. It made our loss so much easier to bare. I can never thank you enough. Sadly won't be able to take part in the walk this year. (Last year it was amazing to be part of it.) Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

She was a life friend to my mother in law, they had been friends for over 40yrs, and sadly she lost her fight with cancer recently..

Hello, I have made a kind donation in memory of my amazing mum, Sarah and would love to share her story.

My mum was cared for by St Barnabas hospice, and stayed in the inpatient unit November-December 2024. At the age of 38 she had been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of genetic lung cancer. Her short battle with cancer was terrible for us all to see, but the incredible care she received at your hospice meant the world to us.

One of the last memories we ever made with our mum was watching the torchlight procession together outside the unit. The staff assisted in bundling my mum up in blankets and fluffy socks and wheeled her outside to watch the light walk with her family and children. There were tears, smiles, laughter, kind words and hugs from those passing by. I am heartbroken yet honoured to be participating in the walk this year in honour of my mother.

On the 4th of December, the staff set up their conservatory to allow us to spend one last Christmas Day as a family. We laid presents under the beautiful tree, played music and ate a Christmas dinner and cakes brought in by family. My mum was able to watch her young boys and teenage girls open the presents she’d picked out for them earlier in the year, alongside being spoilt herself with lots and lots of bracelets, teddy bears and skincare! The nurses were constantly on hand to assist with pain management and ensuring my mum was comfortable throughout the day.

The staff gave it their all, from washing, brushing and drying mum’s hair to being there for a broken family in the worst moments of their life. They went above and beyond to allow us to make those last memories. The nurses constantly spoke to me and my siblings and ensured we were staying as strong as possible! Mandy stayed with us as my mum took her last breaths and I’m forever grateful that we had her support and guidance, and that she showed my mum complete compassion and gentle care right up until the end.

My mum was treated with respect and dignity until the moment she left your unit. She loved the yummy food, joking around with her nurses and watching the squirrels and birds from her window. It felt like home.

Thank you St Barnabas, we will always keep your charity close to our hearts. You have made a huge difference to our lives.

Missing you both everyday especially at Christmas sending love and hugs as always.
Love from Sandra xxx
