Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

Happy Christmas grandad & uncle George, this Christmas without you has been hard. Miss you so much, love you and forever thinking of you both x

Mum lived all her life in Nettleham and did flower sales in support of St Barnabas. She passed away at the hospice in January 2022. She lived Christmas and her family and is sorely missed.

Gill. Although you are not with us in person we see you and feel you every day in our hearts, and we have some of the best conversations. We still go everywhere together hand in hand and we always will. I hear you shout encouragement to the boys when they play football and I know they feel your support. We love you so much, Kevin, Claire Brett Rosie, Stuart Heidi Jayden Jacob & Jess xxxxxxxxx

Emelia was our lovely granddaughter who we miss each day, she bought light to our lives. Sleep well xx

In my bungalow there is a space
Where there’s an empty chair
Where my husband Jim used to sit
But he is no longer there.
I miss you Jim.

Rachael, you are in my heart and head always and forever. You were a shining light to all with your empathy and kindness, I wish I could have seen the person you would have become. I am so proud of you my darling girl. love Dad xxx

We miss you & love you so much daddy xxx

Thinking of you all, especially at this time of year! You are missed but never forgotten, we all love you so much!
All our love, always xxxxx

You saved others, but couldn't save yourself. I hope you see Chris, Charlotte, Alice, Luke and Faye and see the good you were part of.

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. ♥️

Miss you so much mum & dad. This star will shine as you did. Love from all the family xxx

My mum loved Christmas time so this is a fitting tribute
