As parents they were always there for us and have taught us so much. As we grow older and now have Grand children of our own we understand how important the love of family is and appreciate all their love for us, everyone deserves to be always lived and remembered, even they are no longer here in the living world!

Will miss your mince pies, scotch eggs and sausage rolls this year. Not a second goes by that we don’t think of you, we love you dearly
A wonderful lady, with a warm smile and a wicked sense of humour. Only knew her for a short time but fond memories and a lasting respect and appreciation of her as a work colleague and friend.
Miss you so much
Love you
Forever in our hearts ♥️ Xxxxxxxx

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.
I always see you in the night sky shining bright! Love you always Nannie xx
Always going to football with my Dad on Boxing day
My lovely Dad passed away 27th August 2020 . He was the most amazing Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad. He was known as Poppy Jim to all the children. We miss him more than we could ever have imagined. My Dad had csmcer a few years ago, he fought and won but the treatment caused complications and more illness which led to his passing. This is our first christmas without my lovely Dad and I know it will be for many others too. Sending love to every one of you x
I remember opening our Christmas stockings on your bed & all the effort you always made to make our Christmasses special. Having to try and stop you from spending too much but the presents always overflowing out from under the Christmas tree. Love & miss you, Txxx
My wonderful Dad was a loving and caring Dad and Grandad. His birthday was a week before Christmas. We always made it special for him with it being so close to celebrating Christmas. He felt he missed out when he was younger! We always had a family get together – a birthday tea on the 18th December. When we were little and later when our children were small we knew it would be a week until Santa would have visited. I have wonderful memories of my Dad. He is deeply missed every day. Happy Christmas my darling Dad. Forever in our hearts.
Love Karen, Jim and Michael xxx
My dad was always my biggest supporter, now he's my brightest star in the sky
Remembering my Dad who we lost in 2018. Christmas Day was his birthday.
Beautiful parents and sister – always in our thoughts.
To Mum, always there x
My Dad passed away on New Year’s Day 2020 & this will be our first Christmas without him. We all miss you & think of you every day. Happy Christmas Dad, Love from us all.
Chris – Although 8 years ago, not a day goes by when I don’t think of my mum. Far more than when she was with us – a lesson to be shared – hug your mum tight if you are still lucky enough to have her. My mum passed away aged 63. We knew her wishes and we were honored to support her decision in the sharing of her organs. Two people’s lives were saved that day, many more improved and that is the little light at the end of dark path of sadness. She lives on, somewhere. Her gift made sure those people’s families got to celebrate another year with their loved one, and for that I am immensely proud of her. Best mum, kind to the core. X
Miss you every day Mum x so happy you got to be my Mum xxxx
