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.

Always missed, always remembered, always loved, always my husband, always my hero. Paula xXx
To my lovely Gran and Granfer, Miss you everyday, my light shines brightly for you both. The robins have been visiting, so i know you are near. Biggest love, Minnie xxx
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

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.
My friend Brigitte is from Australia and visited Lincoln every two years when she came to England for a holiday she was very dear to me we met on holiday in Whitby in 1997 and wrote to each other sadly on my birthday this year she passed away aged 66 I’ve just found out from a family member. Brigitte thank you for many years of happiness and our strong friendship I will treasure it forever. God bless you my dear friend xx
To super nan,
This is the first Christmas without you here with us and so much has already happened since you left us in January. I now have a beautiful baby boy who’s 8 weeks old who you would’ve absolutely adored.
It makes me so sad knowing you’re never going to meet him but I know you’re here watching us both.
I miss you and I’m so greatful for everything you ever did for me,
Happy Christmas nanny/great grandma now too!
Enjoy listening to musicals and eating chocolate won’t you,
Love you lots xxxxxx
In loving memory of my younger brother Logan, who will be in our hearts forever from Manon, Vija and Mevin.
Your forever in my heart.
Hope you both are together, where ever you are ❤️
Mum loved Lincoln Cathedral at night, especially at Christmas when it was surrounded by Christmas trees. To know that she is being remembered by having a light dedicated to her this Christmas makes it very special.
Stuart, you are missed every day, the world isn't the same without you in it. Love always, Alistair x

I would like to dedicate a light in memory of my Aunty Chris this Christmas – somebody who brought light and laughter into the lives of everyone she knew. She will never be forgotten.

Christmas wasn't a time dad was fussed about but he always made an effort. Asking what meat I wanted from M+S then saying it must be bloody good at that price ha ha. A walk and drink in weatherspoons and coconut talc and liquorice was always wrapped up as a gift ❤️ Memories are forever in my heart.
Dearest Dad,
You are the brightest star ????
Missing you so much.
Love always,
Julie, Alan,Graeme, Lois and families x x x
You may not be with me in person but your presence in my heart and mind has not dimmed with the passage of time. The excitement of Christmas has never been the same since we lost you.
