My daddy, the day you left my sparkle stopped shining missing you everyday not just at Christmas forever my bestie and hero love you more xoxox

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.

All our love
Mama and Papa

Merry Christmas Nanny, the first Christmas without you but forever in our mind and hearts. You are the brightest star on top of the tree. We miss you lots and love you millions.

Remembering you Dad all year and especially at hogmanay. Special times.

In memory of my dad glyn who shines bright in our life and still is rembered always for all that he did for us and role modelled for us.

Mum loved Lincoln Cathedral at night, especially at Christmas when it was surrounded by Christmas trees. To know that she is being remembered by having a light dedicated to her this Christmas makes it very special.

Will be missing you this Christmas.
Love you so much!

In memory of two special people, so sad without them here ???? they are both missed so much

We lost these two dearly loved parents 21 years and 7 years ago respectively. They will be forever in our hearts. Dedicating this light will be a symbol of them shining bright upon our lives, walking beside us always. God bless.

I miss you and think of you every day.x

Dad
We miss your smiling face every day. Life is a little dimmer without you in it.
