Miss you every day Grandma ❤

In memory of my darling husband Malcolm, a wonderful man, beloved always.

The joy my husband always displayed as he watched others opening Christmas presents especially his beloved granddaughters

Dad loved Christmas. He was like a big kid, excited to get the Christmas lights up each year. I love the idea of a light in his memory on this big Christmas Tree – it is so him. I miss you Dad xxx

You were my best friend and I will miss you forever and love you always-until we meet again

The kindest, bravest man that I had the pleasure of being married to, putting his family first in everything he did. Someone taken from us way too soon, is missed by many but will always remain young & beautiful. X

Mum, miss you more than words can say. Loved and remembered every day xxxx

In memory of a wonderful friend- deeply missed and will never be forgotten x

Miss you Daddy xxx

Our dear mum was a beautiful lady who cared for everyone she ever met. She was kind, loving and funny. It was a privilege to have her as our mum. She was also the best Grandma in the World and we miss her every single day. We hope you’re having fun with dad again. Sweet dreams both of you.

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.
All My Love Gill xx

Merry Christmas dad always in our hearts x

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.

You will always live on in our hearts. Never to be forgotten. Rest in peace. Xx

Dad passed away in March this year and Christmas just won't be the same this year. Every Christmas he would send a lovely card to all of his Grandchildren and on the back of the envelope he would always put a smiley face sticker. Every birthday he would do the same. The kids would always look forward to the cards and sticker on the back. He did this for many many years. At his funeral we stuck a smiley face sticker on his coffin. He would have laughed his unmistakable laugh at this as he had a great sense of humour. We love and miss you dearly Dad /Grandad and now Great Grandad xxx

My husband and I remember our much loved parents with great love always and especially at Christmas. This year we have lost 2 special people from our extended families, whose loss has been hard especially more poignant in these extraordinary times, but still missing from our lives.
My husband and I and a close friend always take part in the light a light with love and respect for everyone’s loved ones and will do so this year albeit virtually ❤️

Shine bright, we love you all so so much and I am sure one day we will meet again!

The years pass by but my love for you remains as strong as ever Mum. Merry Christmas, Love always xx
