Missed so much, not just at Christmas. Those happy memories you left us with will last a lifetime x

Remembering happy Christmas days with you both, your favourite time year! You are forever in hearts, now and always. Keep shining bright xxx

My Dad Tony was supported by the wonderful team at St Barnabas during his last years of life. Just like the Tree of Life, Dad lit up the room wherever he was and was funny, inspiring and always positive about everything. We miss him dearly xx

To GGB,

Thank you for keeping an eye on me from heaven and please look after Doodle for us. You’d be so proud of how well I’m doing at school.

‘Always in my heart’

Your best friend Oliver JBD xxx

We will keep the Christmas traditions going Mum, even though it’s so hard with you not here. Thinking of you always.
Love and miss you

Miss your Thursday visits Cobby, even if you did fall asleep. Love and miss you xxx

Isobel loved Christmas time of year a fun time with the children. Always in our thoughts and remembered each and every day.

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.

Another light dedicated to you both this Christmas. Much love from your family who miss you every day xxxx

To the most beautiful, kindest and most loved angel in heaven at Christmas.
Earth lost its brightest light and heaven gained its brightest star when you went home.
You are missed beyond words and loved beyond measure.
You are still and always will be my life , my eternity and my destiny.
Eternally yours

Ronald and Eugenie, my dad and mum, forever in all our hearts, and missed dearly. Such loving parents always fun to be with,

Derek , Abigail's Grandad taken this year, she loved to visit him in the home and read him stories and make him laugh. Such a lovely person

Ezra was a wonderful husband and father and kind to everyone. He had a gift for handling animals and could calm a nervous or aggressive animal with his kind and gentle manner. He was loved by his family, friends and neighbours who miss him sadly but we can treasure memories of the happy times with had when he was with us.

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

Always in our hearts

Missing you each and everyday.

Christmas is not the same without you Mum, but I still keep up our tradition of watching “”A Christmas Carol” a film we both loved. I remember us always wishing it would snow for Christmas. I miss the times that you came to mine for Christmas when the children were young and you always brought with you a box of Christmas goodies, vegetables and fruit. Have a Heavenly Christmas Mum. Love always Angela xxx

Both are remembered with love by Sara’s son, brother and mother.xx

You’re still the absolute light of our life and we’ll enjoy our Christmas with you firmly in our heart.
We love you son with all of our heart.

Sleep well and dream big x

Shine brightly Russ
I love and miss you soo much ❤️

We will always remember you Elaine, not just at Christmas. You, Richard, Kathryn and David were like family to us. So many happy times spent together. RIP xxx
