We miss you so much Dad.
Love you always xxx

For Keith, our much loved son, brother and friend. Never forgotten.

Remembering a very special mum and dad in our hearts you will always stay and we think of you everyday. Christmas is a special time of year for families and you will be with us all this Christmas as your light shines on the Christmas tree. We shall put our Christmas tree up and put your special lights on and your grandchildren will do the same. As we decorate the tree we shall tell your great grandchildren how special you were and tell them stories of the happy Christmases we spent with you. As silent night plays I will shed a tear as I remember how you both peacefully left us and the light turned out, now I see your lights shinning on the Christmas tree and I look at them with a smile. Loved yesterday, today and tomorrow forever in our hearts. Julie, Daryll, Sean, Michelle and Mark xxxxx

Our hearts are broken and we are in unbearable pain that you won’t be here to see Teddys first Christmas. We miss you so much already and wish you was still here with us. We love you so much and always will.

With love as always.

In loving memory of my wonderful Dad who passed away last week. Thank you to all at St Barnabas who cared for him, and us over these past few weeks. We are forever grateful.

Jane was very well cared for at the hospice in her final few weeks. It's almost 8 years but she's still very much loved and missed. It's the anniversary of us losing our lovely Dad tomorrow to Covid. Brother Dave & I will be together and raising several glasses to him.

Probably his least favourite time of year but I’m sure he’d rather be with us in his tacky Christmas waistcoat. We certainly wish he was still sat at the other end of the Christmas table for years to come.

Always in our heart Son.

Remembering Graham, husband and father.

Thank you to the St Barnabas Hospice team in Grantham Hospital for the care and support in Graham’s final week.

The best dad anyone could wish yo have.
Lots of love always and forever ❤️

Thinking of you always, especially at Christmas time. Loved and missed everyday. ????

Especially remembering you both at your favourite time of year. xxx

Christmas isn't the same without you Nan. Luckily we have some amazing memories from our Christmases together over the years which I will treasure forever. Will raise a snowball to you. Miss you as always. Love from All of Us xx

A wonderful, kind, loving man. Who will be forever loved.

Forever in my thoughts and always in my heart.

Miss you everyday

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.

Dad loved Christmas! He was always so generous with his time and with his gifts. He liked to make a real fuss of people.

We remember him every day but especially at this time of year, and raise a glass or two. We all miss him very much xx

In loving memory of John, much loved husband, dad, gdad and great gdad. To have known you was a precious gift. You made every day like Christmas and we loved you dearly xxx
