Daniel, Not having you with us all to celebrate Christmas is not something we will ever get use to. This year our first without you will be so hard however Ethan, Harper and I will try to smile and fill it full of laughter like you would have done. Your sense of humour is what got us all through the hardest of times. We will all use this same outlook on life at Christmas to make it as special as it can be. You will be in our thoughts and in all that we do xx You are so missed, yet still loved so much xx

St Barnabes allowed us all as a family to have that quality time. The children were able to spend time with their Dad in a comfortable and safe setting. The staff went above and beyond for us all and embraced Dans wicked sense of humour. They made him feel safe and cared for him with such compassion and dignity. We were all looked after nothing was ever too much trouble. The most important thing they did was allowed us to have some extra time and memories.

Having a light shine in honour of Dan warms our hearts and gives us some comfort.

It was never goodbye but see you soon
Every day is a Dan day
Forever loved

Always Vicky, Ethan and Harper xx

Every

Knowing we can give back to them in this way helps us all feel we are doing something when a Thank you just isn’t enough for our gratitude.

We miss you so much and you are always in our thoughts

Christmas has lost its sparkle for me since the loss of both my soulmate, David, and many of our respective family members. I still embrace the religious significance, but sorely miss our family getting together to enjoy this very special celebration.

This was always your favourite time of year Mum, it’s so hard not having you here, but your memory will always live on by lighting a light and sharing your stories. I love and miss you so much Mum my Angel xxxxx

Wonderful memories of great times spent together. Adrenalin-fuelled planning, 'who' was coming and 'when'? Last minute shopping a certainty! The fraught stages of prep forgotten as the day filled with love, laughter, and good cheer. Remembered now with great love as that Christmas Table shrinks, albeit gradually.

Dearest Dad,
You are the brightest star ????
Missing you so much.
Love always,
Julie, Alan,Graeme, Lois and families x x x

My Daddy,
The one who always laughs before he’s got the punch line of his joke out, the first one without you, but your favourite Christmas joke will be told!
Love and miss you always

In memory of our lovely mum Helen, who loved Christmas. Your light still shines in our hearts always. xx

To my Mamma & Dadda I miss you so much , life doesn’t get any easier without you in it but I know you will be jiving away together up there. Keep our Ben safe in your arms until we are together again love and miss you so much . Love you always Teresa xxxx

We all miss you so much and our love for you is as strong as ever.

David was a much loved husband, father and grandad. He loved Christmas so is always especially missed at this time. Santa usually brought him a bottle of malt whisky so glasses will be raised in David's memory this Christmas.

For my wonderful Grandad, also a beloved dad and friend. The epitome of a gentleman. Enjoy Christmas with Grandma again.

For my wonderful Grandma, Olive. You’re awfully missed, especially around Christmas. I keep the memories of our extended Christmases & our birthdays close to my heart.

For my beautiful mum who loved a scone and a whiskey, though not necessarily at the same time 🙂

I miss our laughs and hugs, you are both loved so much.

Will miss your mince pies, scotch eggs and sausage rolls this year. Not a second goes by that we don’t think of you, we love you dearly

You were such good parents.
Thank you

This will be the first Christmas without Rob, having been together for 52 years. He was lucky enough to spend his last 4 days in your hospice which I will be forever thankful. Keep up the good work St Barnabas, your amazing.
