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.
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
My beautiful mum you loved Christmas, we miss and love you. All I'm going to say is those budgies are trouble and I go in that average all covered up I even tuck my jeans in my socks and take my hover. You must be rolling your eyes.
Mackenzie I have lots of special memories. Best memory of you is buying what you thought were 2 male gerbils and then finding loads of babies. We all love and miss you..

In memory of mum, Shirley Farquhar, the heart of our family, who loved Christmas with her family. A loving wife, mum and nanny and soon to be great nanny.

The relationship between Roger and his Hospice at Home nurses epitomises the Christmas message of love and hope through the birth of Jesus. Roger's faith sustained him and, I believe, all who helped with his care that enabled him to be at home till the end.
Merry Christmas Pops. You are very much loved and will be missed dearly.
Happy Christmas to my King!
You were the best Dad in the world and I miss you everyday!
Dear Janet. Always in our thoughts and prayers and never forgotten.
Lots of love Tony, Fiona, Tracy and Clare, plus your grandchildren.xxxxxx
Whilst Dad didn't use the hospice in his lifetime he had many relatives that did and he was a big supporter of St Barnabas being a local lad. After such a tough year he will be missed at Christmas and we think this is a lovely way to remember him.
Dear Mum,
My mum, my best friend and the one I trusted most in my world. You are an amazing soul and you were an amazing person. You legacy to me is the light that shines in my heart, and the memories of all the wonderful and not so wonderful times we shared together. I miss you every day, but as you said to me "until next time" and we both know there will be another time. All my love now and always. Barbara xxx
Our beautiful parents, always

Tony, I miss you every day. My life is now dedicated to your memory and the life we had together.

My amazing mother and the best Nanna died suddenly of cancer last December 2022. We will miss her dearly and she will always be in our hearts. Two weeks later her best friend, Philippa who she called her sister died of cancer too. Two most amazing people are still together x we love you x
Think about and miss you every day. All my love Fiona xx
