Chris loved Christmas and the joy it brings to families and individuals alike. Her birthday was on the 21st December and our daughters wedding anniversary on the 22nd, so a very happy time with lots to celebrate. Chris was a Christian and had faith that Jesus would help her through the difficult times, which I am sure he did. Our Christmas festivities started by attending the carol service at the Cathedral and then getting ready for the big day with our daughter and her family. She took so much pleasure in giving and seeing the joy that it brought to others – that is what I remember about her at this time of year.
Happy first heavenly Christmas Grandad. The last thing I said to him was shine bright for me ????????
Mums favourite time of year x
The stars will shine brighter this Christmas x
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.
Mum, Christmas won't be the same without you, but I promise there will be laughter amongst the tears. You gave us all so many magical, joyful Christmas memories (and delicious food!). That magic will never fade.
You spent your life helping others, and now I know first hand just how invaluable St. Barnabas nurses like you are.
To all of you at St. Barnabas, you are angels on earth.

An amazing wife, mum, granny and great granny.
Always in our hearts and always in our thoughts.
Miss you so much.
Dad passed away in March this year and Christmas just won't be the same this year. Every Christmas he would send a lovely card to all of his Grandchildren and on the back of the envelope he would always put a smiley face sticker. Every birthday he would do the same. The kids would always look forward to the cards and sticker on the back. He did this for many many years. At his funeral we stuck a smiley face sticker on his coffin. He would have laughed his unmistakable laugh at this as he had a great sense of humour. We love and miss you dearly Dad /Grandad and now Great Grandad xxx
Bill always used to stand outside the toilet when I was in there brushing my teeth and sing really loudly or pretend to fly like a plane with his arms in the air, he always made me laugh.
We miss you both
Hope you have found each other
With love always

Remembering my Angel and Brightest Star with love at Christmas and always xx
St Bs were amazing looking after both my Dad and best friend through their valiant battles – this time of year they are especially missed and it’s so important we support the hospice and staff continue their vital work. Huge thanks to you all!
Strength not measured just in years, but seen in kindness measured forever.
Always Remembered
Love Diane Sue & Mandy
Always in our hearts.
O – my favourite memory of GGdad is when he would.pretens to sleep in his armchair and make us jump.
T – my favourite memory of GGdad is when he would ask us to pull his finger and when we pulled it he would make a trumping noise.
