We miss our wonderful Grandma so very much- she’d be so proud of our ever expanding family. We shall all raise a glass of Sherry in her honour this Christmas!
Sarah was cared for by St Barnabas, and went to heaven 06 Dec 2024.
She was courageous to the end . Forever 39 and forever missed .
In memory of our brother Keith, much missed and never forgotten. With thanks to St Barnabas for thier loving care.
Gran,
This is the first Christmas without you. Will always love you and miss you everyday. When anything happens, you’re the first person I want to call and for a brief second, I forget I can’t.
I sponsored this light as it helps to keep you shining. You’ll be shining outside the Cathedral. Remember when you came up for my graduation and we pushed you over the cobbles. I will always remember your laugh that day.
Love you forever
Always in our thoughts
Lots of Love
Paulette, Peter, Richard, Nigel, Alison
For my daughter Katy who was tragically taken from us on 18th December 1999 at the age of 15. She is singing now with the angels.

My sincere thanks to the wonderful St Barnabas nurses who helped and supported us through this dreadful last year. Linda Brighton

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.
Both loved and missed by all the family.
Merry Christmas Skali I hope you’ll be drinking wine and dancing.
Always thinking of you and miss you loads.

We always remember when Mum miss judged her chair and ended up in the Christmas Tree, that hold your breath moment where you wait to see if they are hurt or laughing, and luckily it was laughing especially when she realised a bauble landed in the gravy boat.
This light is kindly donated as a gift for Gary and Judy xXx
Dad, somehow it’s been a year since you passed. You live on in all our hearts and minds. I know you’re at peace now and look forward to the day we meet again. Until then keep looking down upon us all and know I will always do my best to make you proud. Love always Adam x
