Merry Christmas to a much missed Mum, Nan & Great Nan. Xx
Not a day goes by without missing you both. So many memories to help us through the dark days. Living life and fulfilling dreams to make memories with our kids as you both did with us x x
We miss you so much Dad. Forever in our hearts and thoughts. Love you always xxx
Constantly loved, forever remembered. Xx
Love and miss you Dad. Our first Christmas without you. Love always xxx ❤️
Carole is in our hearts and with us every day but Christmas was her favourite time of year, she loved being in the heart of the kitchen laughing and joking with everyone.
Miss you big sis xx
My mum volunteered at St Barnabas and was a nurse for 45 years. She sadly lost her battle with Motor Neurone Disease, this September, after only a few months since diagnosis. She is now at peace and back with her parents, my grandparents xx
In loving memory of our dear daughter and mother, Gayle you are with us always.

My gorgeous mum. Always made Christmas special. Whether it was amazing food or making everything super Christmassy for the grandchildren. I miss her so much.
This will be my 3rd Christmas without the love of my life ???? ???? I miss him everyday but at this time of year he would always have some antics up his sleeve making us all laugh, being silly with our grandchildren, I miss everything about him.
All our love

In memory of my lovely mum at Christmas, missed so very much every day.
You are forever in my heart.
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.
In memory of mum, Shirley Farquhar, the heart of our family, who loved Christmas with her family. A loving wife, mum and nanny and soon to be great nanny. Hard to believe our 10th Christmas without you, although you are always with us. We miss you and love you always. Eternal thanks always to the Hospice at Home team who enabled mum to be at home.
I lost my dad 10 years ago suddenly, but my mum we lost in January 2020 after her 2 year battle with cancer, so last Christmas was our last, she was very poorly at this time but we treasured every moment we had with her.
Remembered with love
Forever enjoying the view
The most loving and beautiful parents anyone could wish for. Holding you in our hearts forever ❤️
