Mum loved nothing more than being surrounded by family at Christmas! We love and miss you mum xx

Our beautiful Ann, you fill our hearts with love.
We think of you everyday you gave us such wonderful memories.
You taught us to open our hearts and care for people.
Your smile would light up a room and we still feel your arms around us keeping us safe.
You will always be our shining light and our rainbow through the storm.
We will carry you in our hearts forever.

In memory of our beautiful, talented granddaughter, Emelia, who we miss so much. Grandma and Grandpa

Always in my thoughts. Love forever

Miss you every day. They say time heals but I wish I could talk to you just for a minute. It was so cruel the way you were taken so quickly nut St Barnabas and Marie Curie ensured you died with no pain. I can never thank them enough.

In memory of my beloved Granny and Grandad, who benefited from and truly appreciated St Barnabas. Thank you both for lighting up my life. I love you both.

To the brightest star in the sky. I miss you finishing your Christmas shopping in July and moaning about how ‘it’s all this for one day!’ until December 25th. I know you’re looking over us all on this special year and raising a Bacardi & Coke to the next. Lots of love, Lauren xx

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.

Love and miss you

My Mum was the light and glue of our family. We have been lost without her and this time of year is always such a reminder of the missing piece of our family. Merry Christmas Mum xxx
