We had the best Christmases ever growing up. We miss you.

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.

Sending Christmas kisses and a big Christmas hug of love to our dad, it will be our first Christmas without you Dad we miss you so much at this special time,
Cheers Dad we will never forget you, love you from your loving family xx

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.

Merry Christmas Mum. I know you're shining as bright in the sky as you did in life. Love you always xxx

Both my husband and mum passed away in February 2022. Both received amazing care at the hospice as did I. Thank you x

Remembering you as always this Christmas. Lots of love from Rita and family.

Jane, miss you so very much. Christmas will not be the same without you. Love you lots xxxx

Tony, keep shining bright. We miss you.

My parents passed away 23 years and 9 years ago respectively, and although they didn't require the services of St Barnabas, I feel this local charity is such a worthy cause. The Light up a Life fundraiser is a wonderful idea. You remember your loved ones who have passed each and every day, but this Light up a Life at Christmas is especially special! Forever remembered…

This is our first Christmas without you, our beautiful daughter. You were taken so young. Life will never be the same but you will always be in our hearts and we will love you forever xxxx

My husband Malcolm passed away in the Lincolnshire hospice in April 2016. I will be eternally grateful to the staff for their loving care & support.

Merry Christmas Mum, miss you xx

So many words…so much love. You are both very much in our hearts xxx

My first Christmas without my soulmate and I'm going to miss him so so much , his silliness with our grandchildren, his laugh, his many funny ways but most of all his love, not a day goes by that I don't miss you Barrie and wish you were still by my side, love you always, shine bright to lead the way for me to join you.

Always remember her birthday was the 21st December and we'd trim our tree on that day as children. Christmas remains a very special time for me, I married at Christmas and both of our children have birthdays near Christmas too. She is always missed. X

To my wonderful Dad, your smile always lit up any room you walked in to. I won't ever forget our fun holidays together and all the adventures we had. You always managed to calm me when I shared my worries and fears with you. You were the eternal optimist and I can still hear your voice in my heart giving me advice when ever I'm troubled. I love you so much dad and still miss you everyday. Your memory remains in my heart until we are together again xxxx

My dad was the most kindest amazing man anyone could ever know, I have so many beautiful memories of him and miss him terribly, he is always in my thoughts and I will forever love him, happy Christmas daddy love always Sharon xx

Wonderful parents, both cared for by St Barnabas at home
Gone but never forgotten

Always in our hearts.
Valerie, Ellen & Craig xxx

It will be lonely this Christmas without you.
