Mums favourite time of the year was Christmas, mainly because she loved to gather her family around her. She was a strong supporter of St Barnabas and always dedicated a light on the tree of life.
We were very grateful for their care of mum in her final weeks, and love to support St Barnabas each Christmas in mum’s memory.

Merry Christmas dad always in our hearts x

I love and miss you all. You are all still in my heart and thoughts.

Presents on the sofa, chocolate before breakfast, letters from santa and the anticipation of opening the lounge door, chestnuts and stuffing, pudding when we are stuffed. Then walks to the park with the dogs in all our new clothes and buffet tea that we all wanted but didnt need, tuna and sweetcorn vol au vents and quiche, christmas cake love it or hate it, then tele snuggled together, new pyjamas 'father chistmas' and his happy blooming christmas

This is our first Christmas without you, our beautiful daughter. You were taken so young. Life will never be the same but you will always be in our hearts and we will love you forever xxxx

Wishing my mum and dad a very happy Christmas, miss you at this time of year, always in my heart never forgotten love you both xx

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.

Thinking of you now and always,
All our Love

GRAHAM MARLENE AND FAMILIES XXXX

Mum,
Another Christmas approaches without you, after you were so abruptly taken from our lives and our world was shattered. Let this light shine for you and be a lasting memory of the beautiful, stunning, kind soul that you were. Let this light be a mark of your time here on earth, and for the love and memories you gave us. You were quite simply unforgettable to anyone who met you.
I love and miss you Mum, with every piece of my broken heart.
Forever my Mum, Forever your little Girl.
Until we meet again x

Remembering my Dad on my first Christmas without him.

Merry Christmas Grandma and Grandad. I miss you both so much, but this is your first Christmas back together in a while. I hope you’re watching over me everyday and I hope I’m making you proud. I love you both xx

Remembering my husband, Roger, and my two sons, Pete and Jamie who all loved Christmas. I miss them sooo much at this time of the year. Roger died in the loving and kind care of Lincoln St Barnabas Hospice.
