For Alison,
Who we all think of with fond memories every day.
The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love left behind.

Geoff darling, memories will never leave me, I love you

Always remembered

Miss you both so much, not a day goes by without thinking of you and holding on to precious memories.
Till I see you on Claire Island.
All my love,
Manda. X

It'll be 10 years since you both died, soon. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like another lifetime ago.
You are both loved and missed always, especially at Christmas time.

Rembering my family coming on Boxing Day every year and my Grandad falling asleep after lunch!

My husband Malcolm passed away in the Lincolnshire hospice in April 2016. I will be eternally grateful to the staff for their loving care & support.

In memory of a good friend of many years.
Jean & John Copsey

All of these individuals all had a positive way in life and pointed me in the right direction. They are all very sadly missed. Till we meet again, sleep tight!
RIP

Think about and miss you every day. All my love Fiona xx

I miss you my darling every day. I’ll carry a torch for you again this year. Love you always and forever. Xxxxxx

So many special memories of such an amazing Mum xx

Happy Christmas dad – Christmas wasn’t really your thing but you tolerated it for us :-). Miss you. Xxx

To Lisa and Maureen from all of your family, we miss you every minute of every single day. We will love you today and every day and for eternity that will never change. We are all carrying on with our lives but you are both missing and the truth is it really hurts. But, carry on we will, and make you proud as this is what you both would want.
So "Happy Xmas" and love to you all.
Magnus, Kieran and Haydn.

Miss you Auntie Megan

Christmas was always your time to bring our family together, I miss you mum

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 you and miss you both . Hope you’re both in a lovely place together . xx

Merry Christmas Dad. I miss you so much. Love you always xoxo
