I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.
Miss you every day.
Remember you every day.
Love you forever.
Happy Christmas

I miss my beautiful daughter Lesley everyday, and always donate to Light up a Light and raise funds by holding a coffee morning. Lesley always enjoyed her weekly trips to St. Barnabas to socialise with other people in a similar position to herself. Her last few days were spent in St. Barnabas where she had tender loving care. My only child she left met the best legacy of all – a wonderful grandaughter and grandson. I now have 4 great grandchildren and I know Lesley would be so proud of them all. xxxxx
My mum loved Christmas time so this is a fitting tribute

Your light still shines brightly in my life and you are sorely missed.xxx
Love and Hugs at Christmas xx
After many years of friendship I hope you enjoyed your final flight.
Christmas was always your time to bring our family together, I miss you mum
Keith, the love of my life, we shared so many happy loving family Christmas’s together, I miss you everyday but even more so at Christmas. Till we meet again my love xx
No matter where I go or what I am doing, I always think, "You should still be here."
My wife passed away over four years ago. She had dementia and later cancer. She is with me every day and missed by so many. She was looked after in her final seven weeks at home with help from St Barnabas.
Our first Christmas without Mum and it will feel very empty. Mum was always the life and soul of any gathering at Christmas and throughout the year and will be hugely missed. We will especially miss her delicious Christmas pudding! I’ll be raising a glass to Mum and hope she’ll be doing the same along with all her friends & family. Love always xxx
Getting engaged on Christmas Day, it was very emotional.
Anita was one of the kindest of people, always helping others
This is the first Christmas without Richard. I want to thank St Barnabas for all the amazing work they do and support they give to families going through similar situations to ours.
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.
Remembering Alan a very dear husband, dad, grandad and great grandad who sadly passed away on 6 August 2024, always our favourite Santa
Missed Mum more this year than ever before. I became a Granny and would so loved her to have met baby Martha Melly.
Being the best mummy, wife, sister, aunty, daughter and friend there ever was. Also wandering a hotel in a thong helped.
Dear Robert
You were taken from us so unexpectedly and we miss you dreadfully. Christmas will be very difficult without you darling xxxx
Peter was a special person and is missed by all who knew him, most especially by his lovely wife and best friend, Celia x
Gran,
This is the first Christmas without you. Will always love you and miss you everyday. When anything happens, you’re the first person I want to call and for a brief second, I forget I can’t.
I sponsored this light as it helps to keep you shining. You’ll be shining outside the Cathedral. Remember when you came up for my graduation and we pushed you over the cobbles. I will always remember your laugh that day.
Love you forever
It is especially hard at Christmastime without you. You loved Christmas and we would always look forward to spending it with you. Miss you always xxx
Another year without you but you are remembered every day and truly missed xx
Remembering Chris and John at this time of the year. So many lovely memories of our times together with Geoff and myself. You will both always be remembered – with all my love Gill
You were my best friend and I will miss you forever and love you always-until we meet again
