To the brightest star in the sky. I miss you finishing your Christmas shopping in July and moaning about how ‘it’s all this for one day!’ until December 25th. I know you’re looking over us all on this special year and raising a Bacardi & Coke to the next. Lots of love, Lauren xx
Miss you every year dad x
Will pull a cracker and will
wear a hat in your honour.
Baxter wishes a Happy Christmas to his grandad xxx Love you always Becky xxx
My darling wife. Our first Christmas without you. Miss you so very much. Love from Lisa and your fur babies x
Their love of walking in the uk
For my beautiful mum who loved a scone and a whiskey, though not necessarily at the same time 🙂
Happy Christmas dad – Christmas wasn’t really your thing but you tolerated it for us :-). Miss you. Xxx
Tim was a friend to everyone, kind, gentle and nothing was too much trouble.
Tim attended Lincoln City Foundation ladies walking football matches, not only to support his wife Caz but to give a everyone present a reason to smile. From picnics to a supporting hug Tim was always there, taking photos, giving a full briefing on the matches via social media and making us laugh.
Tragically following a short battle with the c word, Tim was taken from us too soon.
Tim leaves behind a devastated family, especially wife Caz, and a very upset and confused daughter (aged 6), who does not really understand where or why her daddy was taken and cannot return.
Christmas will be hard for the whole family, but with the support of many people, will make it as best as we can for them, and never forget Tim.
Not a day goes by without missing you both. So many memories to help us through the dark days. Living life and fulfilling dreams to make memories with our kids as you both did with us x x
Mum,
Keep Shining Bright ❤️
Loved and Missed Always xxx
Merry Christmas mum we all miss so much I hope you’re partying hard and being you up. Forever missed forever loved xxx
All our love
Mama and Papa
Thinking of you & missing you dad. Always & Foreved in our hearts Mand & Ty xxx
Two very important people who are sadly missed and fondly remembered, both taken too soon.
Especially at Christmas we remember you and wish deeply for one last conversation.
Christmas is a very special time to remember very special people. We dedicate these lights to our grandparents every year; knowing that they will make a difference to those facing challenging times across Lincolnshire makes it extra special.
Grandma loved Christmas and having family round. First one this year without her xx
Merry Christmas Mum. Sending you a big hug wherever you are! Love you always x
I miss you so much Grandad ????
I would give anything to have you back. Love you forever and always xxxx
My much loved younger brother, the 1st Christmas you won't be with your family.
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.
Dear Dad
So wish you could be here with us for this first special Christmas with your Grandson Baxter. He wants to say ‘Happy Christmas Grandad I love you’
As do I. Miss you always. Becky xxx
We know you are shining down on us this christmas Nanny. You are missed more than you could ever imagine. God Bless xxx
Auntie Edna was an inspiration to me, and all that had the pleasure of knowing her. Despite challenges she faced, she always had a positive attitude, and such determination, strength and bravery that astounded us all. She had the kindest heart, the biggest smile and will be very missed by all that knew her. She always wanted to help others, enjoyed baking, especially rock cakes, which were amazing and has taught me so much and a real example of the woman I have become. We have so many amazing memories together, from being young in her garden watching the lilies blossom in her pond, baking all sorts of delights together to hours sat on the sofa chatting. She leaves a very big hole, however, I know her star is shining brightly above us.
Forever heartbroken. Taken far too soon. Christmas will never be the same again. You were the best Santa ever xx
Miss you every day
Thinking of lovely memories together
Much love Jill xx
Shine brightly Russ
I love and miss you soo much ❤️
