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

We always put the baubles on the tree for you mum. Each year you took us to see the lights in town and every year you made a huge Christmas cake. We always brought gifts for the dogs and always had the most beautiful food.

To our wonderful Mother the kindest person in the world. We think of you every day and you will stay in our hearts forever. We love you so much xxxx

My beautiful mum, my best friend, the best grandma to my babies, the most selfless and brave person I've ever known.
Our first Christmas without you. Not a day goes by without thinking about you, talking about you and Christmas will be no different. I miss you so, so much.
We love you to the moon and back.

Dad, you are so missed, especially now. Christmas was a time you always made so special and magical. Thank you for being the best Dad anyone could ask for, I’ll always be grateful for the years we had and for the memories you left behind. You & Mum gave me the best life I could’ve asked for, full of love and laughter. No words can ever describe how much you are loved and missed, every day. ❤️

Broken hearted without you. Love and miss you. All my love Jill

Missing you more than anything and would give anything to have one last day with you. Times are really hard at the moment.

All our love xXx

Missed dearly and still very much loved.
Forever in our hearts xx

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.

Remembering you this Christmas mum. Miss you and love you always.

Merry Christmas Dad. You've got your own silly tree this year.
We love you and miss you so much.

Love Jude, Rob, Karen, Albert, Elsie, Jen, Mark, Stell, Ash and Max xx

In memory of our much loved brother-in-law, John.
You were always there for our family, in good times and in bad. We shared so many good times together…..New Year dances in Newark big family Christmas Days and holidays. You are thought of every day and we often talk about the times we spent together, which we will hold in our hearts forever.
Always remembered, Anne & Chris xxx
