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.

In memory of two special people, so sad without them here ???? they are both missed so much

Fed us,clothed us and kept us warm. A good Mum.

My dad passed away 15 days ago at home with me holding his hand. I can not thank St Barnabas hospice home care enough for how they looked after my dad in his final week and how they supported me also. So much care and empathy from the nurses that tended to my dad. I will forever be grateful. Thank you

A dearly loved Mum, grandma and great grandma. Remembered always.

You’re not here anymore, where you have always been before. Our first Christmas apart but we’re together in my heart.
Your love remains it keeps me going, your faith and bravery it kept me knowing, that you were a gift my whole life through, a mother so loved ,that loved me too. Forever a light and forever my reason to keep going on whatever the season. Merry Christmas moom. Love your sweet pea. Xxx

My dear Dad who passed away due to Cancer on the 19th November 2020. How I wish you were still here Dad you will always be in my thoughts x

Wonderful parents, both cared for by St Barnabas at home
Gone but never forgotten

You take with you the love of your beautiful wife Carol and the rest of your loving family
We will all be with you one day dancing a merry tune to that guitar
Sleep tight you wonderful man
Until we meet again xx

Merry Christmas! We love and miss you so much. Forever thinking of you. Shine bright as always!

Pop-‘ The more you cry, the less you pee.’

Reunited and back together like the two halves of the whole you always were. Enjoy your Christmas together
