Hi,

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. Sorry for not being the best sister. Maybe in another life we'll beat cancer. I love you.

Sending love to you all, Merry Christmas. Wish we were all around the table again, together xxxx

Loved and missed every day

Never far from our thoughts .

Merry Christmas Grandad ♥️ Miss you always ♥️

Miss you always Dad. Thanks for sorting our kitchen leak on your last Christmas with us, not quite how we imagined that would go! Love you. Matt & Danielle xxx

As parents they were always there for us and have taught us so much. As we grow older and now have Grand children of our own we understand how important the love of family is and appreciate all their love for us, everyone deserves to be always lived and remembered, even they are no longer here in the living world! Xx

Thank you for taking Pauline into your care during her dying days.
Life had been so difficult and it was so pleasing to see you take care at such a difficult time

To treat others as I would wish to be treated.

You so loved Christmas, time to relax after
getting all the parcels delivered at this time of year making sure the family’s received them in time. Your favourite job of carving the turkey! You are so loved and missed.
Shine bright my darling. Xxxxxxx

Miss you all and you are always in my thoughts.

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.

My wonderful nan who lit up a room when she was around. We had lots of laughs and I miss her dearly. This light is for her so she can shine down on Lincoln.

We miss you and wish you were still with us. Heartful of love
for you both.

Missing you so much my darling, love you so much.
All my love, Lucibelle xxxxx

Always missed. Forever in our thoughts xxxx

Always remembered

My dear Mum, Dad, Val, Mick and Jo, We miss you all so much, especially at Christmas. We had some lovely Christmases together. We are truly blessed to have so many happy memories. One day we will all be together again. Polly and Colin xxx

Another Christmas without you Grandad. I miss you more than words can say. Hope you’re up there rattling the coins in your pocket. I love you always and forever!
