Emma is our daughter, born 14 June 1988, who stayed with us for just one day. We have taken part in the Light a Light procession every year since, this is her part of Christmas.
Tilly is our first grandchild, born March 2020, whom we have not been able to meet and cuddle yet due to the COVID Pandemic and travel restrictions across the World. Instead of being able to show her the Christmas Tree in person, to have her own light shining on it is the next best thing.
Wonderful parents, both cared for by St Barnabas at home
Gone but never forgotten
You lite up our lives every day. Gone but never forgotten. We think about you every day.
Merry Christmas Mam xx
David was the most loving, kind and funniest man and is remembered by all as a man who always had a smile for everyone. He is missed and loved by his family every day. We will raise a glass of malt whisky to him and all our past Christmases together. Love from Maureen, Daniel, Ben and Fyn xxxx

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.
My husband who has recently passed away. He was the light of my life x
Myself and my dad used to have a competition on who would have our Christmas tree up first. Dad always won! He used to ring me saying he had beat me, I really miss having that call ♡
Sending love this Christmas we miss you.
So many memories of more than 60 Christmases together Sadly missed
My soul mate, my best friend and the love of my life, this light is for you my darling Dougie.
My wonderful husband and love of my life forever in my heart
Merry Christmas Dad,
Another year without you… I miss you more with each day that goes by.
Christmas was your favourite time of the year, so I promise I will try my best to enjoy it, just like you would want me to. I'll be sure to have a Bailey's or two for you.
You'll forever hold the most special place my heart.
