Elaine was the most beautiful, kind, caring and compassionate wife and mum. 41 years of marriage and our love grew stronger year by year. So unlucky to lose her too soon but so lucky to have met her and for us to realise we were meant for each other. Elaine, you will never be forgotten, I will never stop loving you; until we meet again, forever yours, Richard xx

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY DEAR WIFE CAROL, WITH LOVE FROM ALL THE FAMILY, FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS XXX

Dad, you passed away 18th Oct 2020, you were our hero and the strength and backbone of our family.
Mum, you passed away 20th Dec 2020, you were always there for us when we needed to talk. We are all so shocked but understand that you didn’t want to be separated from dad after being together for 58 years.
We are devastated and in so much pain right now from losing you both, the only bit of comfort we have is knowing that you are back together, side by side where you belong. Please don’t worry about us, in time we will be ok and we will look out for one another like you’ll want us to do.
We will never forget you and everything you did for us, you will be missed so much and our lives from now on will never be the same.
Take care of one another mum and dad, we’ll see you again one day, sleep tight,
Your loving daughters,
Michele, Simone and Rosalind

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.

It’s 5 o’clock somewhere Dad. I miss you so much
Love Jane xxx

Missing you Mum. Love always, Lindsey, Marcus, Ben and Scarlett xxxx

In loving memory – Loved and remembered every day, so sadly missed by us all XXX

Always in our thoughts and missed every day.

Another Christmas without you both, yet not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. This time of year still doesn’t feel the same, but I reflect on every moment we got to share. The grief of your absence is strongest amidst the festive joy, yet it reminds me how fortunate I was to be so deeply loved.

Merry Christmas, Grandma & Grandad –
cheers to you with a Sherry or two!
I’ll light a candle in memory of you;
two loving hearts still guide me through.
All my love, forever and more –
I’ll see one day, waiting at Heaven’s door. ♥️
