My dear Mum loved Christmas – it was her favourite time of year, bless her..
My father-in-law Keith was born on 23rd December – remembering him on his special day.
Our first Christmas without you, we had so many with you, it will be very hard. My best mate, I miss you x
My Mum always made Christmas so magical, we love and miss her more and more each year xx
You saved others, but couldn't save yourself. I hope you see Chris, Charlotte, Alice, Luke and Faye and see the good you were part of.
For my wonderful Poppa, you were the most amazing chap and you made my life magical.
I miss you every second of every day.
All my love forever, Linney xxx
There is 2 big holes in my heart every day but even more so when I start the preparations and traditions from my childhood for Christmas although there are always a few tears there is always great smiles and memories that no one can ever take away xxx
Our mum was an amazing woman who cared for everyone more than she ever did herself. At Barnabas was close to her heart as they looked after her dad before he died. We raised money for St Barnabas at my mums funeral 2 months ago and we know she would be so happy to see so much money go to a charity she loved so much. My mum was an amazing, caring and kind woman and she will be dearly missed for the rest of our lives.
Remembering all the special times we had growing up, you were the best big brother I could have hoped for. We laughed, cried, squabbled but always the best of friends. I miss you more than people know. Love you always, Sarah xxxx
Miss you more than words can say. We love you and should have told you more x
When you left us, you did the most amazing thing. You gave life and sight to others. You were always so kind and thoughtful and this was reflected in your gift, even after you had gone. I hope the recipients are happy, healthy and are loved. Perhaps one day we will hear from them but until then, know that we are proud to call you our mum. Love you my mummy x
Your light is shining forever
Miss you Dave be at peace with all your family and friends. Miss all our much loved family and friends shine bright love you all. From Nikki and Paul Grimshaw
My mum was a loving mother, mother in law and nana who is missed so much. My mum dedicated her life caring for us all and for others as she worked caring for the sick and elderly. St Barnabas hospice looked after her in her last few days which was greatly appreciated by us all. Please keep up the great work you do everyday. Love to you all this Christmas time xxx
Our first Christmas without you, shine bright up there. Loved and missed everyday xx xx
Miss you always x
In Memory of my beautiful sister, she sadly lost her brave and courageous battle against cancer nearly 6 years ago. She loved Christmas with her Family.
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 mum more than words can say, shine bright in the sky like the brightest star you are. Lots of love always Sue xx
I miss your laughter, wisdom, advice and most of all your presence – all in all I miss you dad!! Hope you are having fun up there and keep visiting me in the garden ???? xx
