Bills favorite place was Disney world and we used to go on an ride with ET and at the end ET would say goodbye to you including your name. Bill made up a different name each time so ET would say "good bye Bob" and it would make me laugh so much!

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.

This will be my 3rd Christmas without the love of my life ???? ???? I miss him everyday but at this time of year he would always have some antics up his sleeve making us all laugh, being silly with our grandchildren, I miss everything about him.

Ben,

Forever in our thoughts and heart, we miss you so much.

Love Dad & Lynda xxxx

Mum, Christmas won't be the same without you, but I promise there will be laughter amongst the tears. You gave us all so many magical, joyful Christmas memories (and delicious food!). That magic will never fade.

You spent your life helping others, and now I know first hand just how invaluable St. Barnabas nurses like you are.

To all of you at St. Barnabas, you are angels on earth.

A gentle man and a gentleman. I hope I can be something like him

Granny

I miss watching the queens speech with you.

Missing you more than ever.

Happy Christmas

No matter where I go or what I am doing, I always think, "You should still be here."

Always remembered and cherished

Always loved, never forgotten

Love Mum, Emma, Nic, Ruth, Dylan, Bethan, Max, Will, Garry and James

Wonderful Parents, Gone but never to be forgotten

Always and forever in my heart, Not only at Christmas, Everyday. They say it gets easier.. with time.. It doesn't and whilst I've had a few Christmas's without you Dad, It’ll be my first without you both, Hopefully Ryan has found his way, to you, back in your arms. Forever 27, My Son I love you always❤️

In loving memory of our beautiful mum.
This will be our first Christmas without you. It was always such a happy time for us and you loved to get the family together for a big meal out go out dancing with dad.
Thank-you for always being there, supporting me and giving unconditional love. I never felt judged by you, and you always made me feel secure taking my own path in life.
We can't believe you are gone and will miss you forever.

Mum you are in my thoughts each and every day. Life is not the same and the pain of losing you has never dulled.
Miss you lots Debs xxxx
