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.

This will be my first Christmas without you mum. Dad it will be the 11th. I promise to carry on your traditions for your grandchildren and I will always remember books don't count. Love to you both always and forever Mandy and Sally xxx
Remembering my wonderful dad who is so greatly missed by all his family and friends. Thank you St Barnabas for taking care of him with such care and dignity. Love you Dad. Xxx❤️
Miss you Dad more and more each day. There is a big part of my heart which you held, that can never be filled. I'll always remember the childish playfulness we had and always getting told off. You'll always be my daddy dumpling darling. Wish you were here to see mine and Nick's first child. Love you always, forever your little girl. Kimberley. Xxx
Christmas just isn't the same without you Mum.
Love and miss you always.

Have a Merry Christmas to you all, keep safe and be kind to each.
My Dad loved Christmas! He loved the parties and the presents; he always watched everyone else open theirs and kept his in a pile next to him to savour. He was an incredibly generous man and always made sure everyone who knew him had a treat at Christmas time. This will be our sixth without him; we all miss him very much.
Always in our hearts and thought of everyday. We miss and love you so much. Remembered always with all our love from, Rita, Jane, Chris, Eleanor, Jessica, Poppy, John, Holly xxx
We are remembering my Grandad. An amazing trombone player in his day as well as a terrifically talented joiner. My Grandad was like a built in best friend. So funny, his smile and laugh just lit up the entire room. And I would always feel safe and secure whenever he was near, he just had a calming presence. He always reassured you that you would be fine and give you a big squeeze and you would instantly feel better. My grandad was so determined, this showed when he had a stroke when I was younger and he had to learn how to read, write and speak again and he did. He passed away two years ago now from falling on a rainy day and after all he had achieved recovering from those traumas, it left such a hole in our lives for him to be suddenly taken when he was so healthy. Our lives are definitely different without him as he was such a light and a joy. Everyone who met him says the same, he was just a force of nature. The best husband, father and grandad in the world.
We are also remembering my Granny (Grandad’s wife) unfortunately she passed when I was a baby so I didn’t get much time with her, which really upsets me but when I hear all the wonderful and also funny stories about her I truly feel like I know her so well. She was so kind, so creative, also a force of nature. She was very determined, she ran a restaurant whilst taking care of her family and just had so many feathers to her cap! She had an eye for detail. I wish I could have spent years on end with her, going around antique shops which she so dearly loved. She was a treasured wife, mother and Granny.
We are also remembering my Auntie Bridget. When my granny passed away Auntie Bridget sort of took on the role of Granny duties. And to this day , I can say she truly shaped who I am. She was so kind, so delicate, always fair. Auntie Bridget loved church and keeping her rosary beads close to her (which is something I like to do now because of her), everything in her home was perfect and beautiful. Some of the best memories of my childhood are school holidays at my Auntie Bridget’s. And walking through her front door and getting a whiff of her homemade chicken soup that she was cooking. Everyone who knew her, held a special place in their hearts for Auntie Bridget and that’s a fact. We miss her everyday.
And finally we are remembering my Granny Flynn (Auntie Bridget’s sister and my Mums Granny) she too passed when I was baby so I don’t have any memories with her and I so wish I did because of the stories I hear she was such a kind and wonderful person to know. I have one picture of her holding me when I was just born, I’m asleep in her lap and she is looking down at me just like an angel and she is so very gently holding my tiny hand with the tips of her fingers, the picture is so beautiful and special because although I never knew her that picture shows how much she loved me and how many memories we would have made together , the memories would have been wonderful. My mum describes her as so elegant and very much “a lady” and she was a huge part of my mum’s growing up, almost everyday they would see her, she was like a “second mum”. It just shows how treasured she was.
Mum, Dad, Emmy and George. You are always in our thoughts, and forever in our hearts. Happy Heavenly Christmas, love Marie & John xxxx
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
The light of Jesus shines through all those who work in St. Barnabas

So loved and missed by me, his children and grandchildren. 3rd Christmas without him, he so loved his family, he would be proud of the people they are becoming x
Mum, we love and miss you so much. We talk about you all the time. You spent your life thinking and caring for us and others and we thank St Barnabas for taking care of you when you needed it. We will come and visit the tree of life to see your light shining brightly just like you lighted up our life. Love you always, Jeremy, Sarah, Easton and Ebonie xxxxxxxxxx
