Husband, Dad and Grandad loved and remembered every day xxxx

I miss our laughs and hugs, you are both loved so much.

Miss you Daddy xxx

Merry Christmas love from all of us

I’m sure you can see what I’ve done to the garden and house this year. I can just hear you saying “How many holidays?” ????
You would have loved your new little granddaughter born almost 9 months to the day since you left us. She is such a little star and Rob and Hannah are great parents. You are always in my thoughts and I’ll never stop loving or missing you. ❤️

This is our second Christmas without you Natty. We didn't acknowledge the holiday through pain without you last year, but this year we welcome the festivities back into our home with you very much front and centre of our minds.
It's important for us to pay respect to the time of year that you loved the most and we hope that in whichever way you can, you join us in spirit and guide us in love.
We miss you dearly Natty, you know that and you are the first and last thought of us on any day.
Mummy and Daddy are your best friends, Jack and Finlay are your brothers.
You are perfect son, we love you with all our hearts.
You are everything. X

In memory of my sister Chrissy and loving husband Chris x x x x

In my bungalow there is a space
Where there’s an empty chair
Where my husband Jim used to sit
But he is no longer there.
I miss you Jim.

Mum,
You will forever be in my thoughts, especially at Christmas time, which you loved.
Love and miss you always ????

Your light is shining forever

Love you the whole world and a bag of Sunday. Always x

A memory of Malc's smile and sense of humour. They never left him right to the end, such a brave man.

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.

Forever in our hearts

The second Christmas without my best friend, I don’t know how we’ve all manage nearly a year without you. I miss you so much, we will meet again angel xxxx

Laura was the queen of Christmas, she would always be in the festive spirit super early and her house was like a grotto. I have many fond memories of seeing Laura just before Christmas, laughing, being silly, reminiscing and having a lovely time. I miss her everyday.

Remembering you Mum with love at Christmas

You are in our thoughts and in our hearts always.
We miss you so much.
Shine bright darling.
Love from Charlie and all the kids xx

Bill always used to stand outside the toilet when I was in there brushing my teeth and sing really loudly or pretend to fly like a plane with his arms in the air, he always made me laugh.

The best mum and dad my sister and I could have wished for.

In memory of my lovely kind dad. Always there for me and my sister. Loved and missed every day xx

My dad was always my biggest supporter, now he's my brightest star in the sky
