We will be thinking of you as always this Christmas. It is the first Christmas that our family is back together in your old house, so it will bring back so many happy memories. You will both be missed, especially Grandad’s jokes and Grandma’s mince pies and trifle!
Lots of love,
Hannah, Lucy, Ian and Ruth xxx
Missing you does not get any easier. Not only did I lose my husband when you passed but i lost soul mate too. I will love you always Dougie xx
His wife and children and grandchildren miss him so much. He was so important in all our lives.
Mum lived all her life in Nettleham and did flower sales in support of St Barnabas. She passed away at the hospice in January 2022. She lived Christmas and her family and is sorely missed.
I miss you so much. I will think of you when I am in Australia at Christmas, just as you had told me I had to go. Wish you could be with me. Love you forever.Andy x

My husband who has recently passed away. He was the light of my life x
Missing my family and dear friends every day and especially at Christmas time.
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.
Miss you each and every day
Our wonderful Grandad who gave us the most amazing memories. We love and miss you, more than words. Wishing you a heavenly Merry Christmas. Sending all our love and a special kiss from Lilia ❤️
We lost dad in September whilst he was on holiday with my mum in Crete. We lost him so suddenly and far too soon. A kind, gentle and hard working man and the best dad you could ask for. We all miss you so much. We’re all looking after mum, don’t worry. We hope we continue to make you proud.
Miss you and love you forever
Vanetia (mum), Kylie, Holly, Jade, Beth, Keswick and all the grandchildren xxxxx
