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.

Both sadly missed and not forgotten.

Miss you every day Dad
Much love Jill xxx

JUST WISHING YOU WERE STILL HERE TO SHARE OUR MEMORIES TOGETHER

Barrie used to pretend he wasn't bothered about Christmas but deep down I know he did, being close to family and all the grandchildren is what made him the happiest, miss him and his silly ways so much and always will.

Wishing the special people I have dedicated a Light up a Life to a heavenly Christmas. You will always be remembered and never forgotten.

Remembering my lovely Dad, a very special man who is missed every day but especially at this time of year.

Still remembering the good times we had together cheers mate.

Miss you every day – there is not a day goes by and I don’t think about you both. Love you xxx

Dear Grandad,
It will be the first Christmas without you this year, but I know you’ll be by outside always. Love you always. Katie and Emilie xx

Grandad,
We especially miss you at this time of year, you loved Christmas and the excitement (and aggravation) that came with it. You were such a big part of our family christmases.
My fondest Christmas memories were staying at Grandma and Grandad's from Christmas eve until January!

Thank you for all the wonderful memories.
All our love Lizzie, Sean, Rupert and Felix xxxx

During my daughter’s life we would often attend events to raise money for St Barnabas not thinking that one day at age 30 she would receive amazing care from the hospice nurses. We miss her everyday but especially at Christmas when we all get together.

Wherever you are, I hope the skies are bluer, the colours are brighter, the hills are higher and the world is kinder. I will love you forever x

To all my family and friends I miss you all so much, if I could turn back the clock today I would have you all back now, their's never a day go's by without thinking about you all lots of luv Tracy xx

Merry Christmas dad, always remember you drinking your whisky on Christmas day telling silly jokes and one of your great Christmas dinners. Miss you so much xxxx

Jane was very well cared for at the hospice in her final few weeks. It's almost 8 years but she's still very much loved and missed. It's the anniversary of us losing our lovely Dad tomorrow to Covid. Brother Dave & I will be together and raising several glasses to him.

Wonderful parents, both cared for by St Barnabas at home
Gone but never forgotten

My dad.
We lost suddenly.
He was loving, caring, protective of his girls and funny. He was a fantastic husband and grandad.
We miss you every single minute of the day.
You loved christmas and all the sparkle of the lights and getting excited with the kids new toys.
This light represents that sparkle you brought us all at christmas time.
With all our love dad. Merry Christmas

Mum and Dad always made Christmas special when I was growing up and love and miss them every day but especially at this special time of year

Happy Christmas mum ! We miss you so much ! Love you xx
