Daniel, Not having you with us all to celebrate Christmas is not something we will ever get use to. This year our first without you will be so hard however Ethan, Harper and I will try to smile and fill it full of laughter like you would have done. Your sense of humour is what got us all through the hardest of times. We will all use this same outlook on life at Christmas to make it as special as it can be. You will be in our thoughts and in all that we do xx You are so missed, yet still loved so much xx

St Barnabes allowed us all as a family to have that quality time. The children were able to spend time with their Dad in a comfortable and safe setting. The staff went above and beyond for us all and embraced Dans wicked sense of humour. They made him feel safe and cared for him with such compassion and dignity. We were all looked after nothing was ever too much trouble. The most important thing they did was allowed us to have some extra time and memories.

Having a light shine in honour of Dan warms our hearts and gives us some comfort.

It was never goodbye but see you soon
Every day is a Dan day
Forever loved

Always Vicky, Ethan and Harper xx

Every

Knowing we can give back to them in this way helps us all feel we are doing something when a Thank you just isn’t enough for our gratitude.

Peace to All

I’ll love you forever.

Merry Christmas to my beautiful grandma in the sky. I love you so much and miss you every single day. Love Jasmin xx

Chris – Although 8 years ago, not a day goes by when I don’t think of my mum. Far more than when she was with us – a lesson to be shared – hug your mum tight if you are still lucky enough to have her. My mum passed away aged 63. We knew her wishes and we were honored to support her decision in the sharing of her organs. Two people’s lives were saved that day, many more improved and that is the little light at the end of dark path of sadness. She lives on, somewhere. Her gift made sure those people’s families got to celebrate another year with their loved one, and for that I am immensely proud of her. Best mum, kind to the core. X

Your light will shine forever

Your love of Christmas always shone so brightly. You spent many, many hours volunteering as Father Christmas for various local charities. Such care and attention for every single child you saw.
