Always thinking of our wonderful parents at Xmas
All our love Ron and Max.

Our mum was an amazing woman who cared for everyone more than she ever did herself. At Barnabas was close to her heart as they looked after her dad before he died. We raised money for St Barnabas at my mums funeral 2 months ago and we know she would be so happy to see so much money go to a charity she loved so much. My mum was an amazing, caring and kind woman and she will be dearly missed for the rest of our lives.

Dearest David a year since you left us and I miss you more every day.
So very grateful to the staff at St Barnabas hospice for the wonderful care and love they gave you in your final weeks.

Mum and dad gave me a perfect childhood. The older I get, the more I love and appreciate them. I hope they realised this.

Dear Janet. We all love and think of you daily. Rest in Peace. Lots of love, husband Tony, daughters Fiona, Tracy, Clare plus your grandchildren, Skye, Bradley, Isabel, Ella and Freddy. xxxxxxxxx. Until we meet again one day.

Thinking of you both at Christmas & always. Forever in our hearts xxx

Christmas was his favourite time of year; it's not the same without his practical jokes, dancing Christmas hats or wicked sense of humour. Loved dearly x

Thinking of you at Christmas and Always Forever in our hearts love your Daughter Olivia and Husband Gary xxxxxx

Missing you every day hard to be without you after being in my life for 65 years, married for 55 years and raising two great sons.
It’ll be hard this Christmas without you Tony.
I sang for you in the Community Choir on Tuesday night, 21 November, every word remembering our life together.

We miss you everyday clarkey but at Christmas your absence is felt the most…your favourite time of the year! xxxx

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 have the fondest memories of Christmas as a child with my dad and mum and sister was amazing!
Recently memories of spending time with my mum in law who came and stayed for Christmas lunch.

If you get a chance to look down on me, I hope you know that I am missing you.

We all miss you Daddy, you always made life more fun and interesting with your humour and talents. I love you and hope you can see your little Leonidas and keeping Orion company. Your family xxxx

Today would have been her 48th Birthday so I am lighting a candle for her memory, St Barnabas were amazing in caring for her at the end and we are forever grateful xx

To a mum and dad who always made Christmas such a special time of year for their children and grandchildren. We love and miss you both. We will remember you this and every Christmas, and will take inspiration from the values and traditions you taught us. With love from Paul and Jo (and from all the family) xxxxxxx

Merry Christmas Dad!
Miss you always. Will pull a cracker (and will wear my hat) for you.
All my love
Becky xxxx

How we miss our lovely family Christmases. Those special years will not return when we were all together but with all the love inside our hearts you'll walk with us forever.
Dad now back in the arms of mum.
Shine brightly.
Love Sue, Eloise, Jack and Mylo. Xx

Love you and miss you both . Hope you’re both in a lovely place together . xx
