However hard the grief is I know I'm fortunate to have had both these lovely people in my life.
To my big brother, Dave and my best friend, Karen – love never dies.
First Christmas without Dad and what would have been his 80th Birthday on Boxing Day.
Daddy Sharman we miss you every day. You will always be loved and never forgotten.
All our love,
Dan & Gem

Shining a light on your life and precious memories of you this Christmas. Xx
Jeannettes poem,
When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.
Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.
Wonderful Husband, Father and Pappa x
Forever in our hearts, missing you all so much. It doesn’t get any easier as time goes by.
A wonderful caring Dad whose legacy of love and devotion still shines through and always will.
Forever heartbroken. Taken far too soon. Christmas will never be the same again. You were the best Santa ever xx
Loved and missed every day

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.
Remembering my dad, who loved Christmas and lef5 us far too soon
Thinking of you always with love
Remembering all the lovely Christmases we shared together as a family.

Mum loved nothing more than being surrounded by family at Christmas! We love and miss you mum xx
Second Christmas without you, happy memories live on though. Remembering you this year in a very special way as myself and family lead the Torchlight Procession
Always in our Hearts.
Dad was Mr Christmas, he loved every bit about it. We cherish this time in his memory 🤍
I miss you each and every day but take comfort in the knowledge that your light will always shine brightly in my life.
Lots of love as always
My parents passed away 23 years and 9 years ago respectively, and although they didn't require the services of St Barnabas, I feel this local charity is such a worthy cause. The Light up a Life fundraiser is a wonderful idea. You remember your loved ones who have passed each and every day, but this Light up a Life at Christmas is especially special! Forever remembered…
