Florence Hale & Leslie Hale

From Mrs Susan Colam

My parents passed away 23 years and 9 years ago respectively, and although they didn't require the services of St Barnabas, I feel this local charity is such a worthy cause. The Light up a Life fundraiser is a wonderful idea. You remember your loved ones who have passed each and every day, but this Light up a Life at Christmas is especially special! Forever remembered…

Jeannette Goodwin

From Miss Eden Laughton

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

Paula Barber & Ron Shaw

From Mrs Wendy Cundy

St Bs were amazing looking after both my Dad and best friend through their valiant battles – this time of year they are especially missed and it’s so important we support the hospice and staff continue their vital work. Huge thanks to you all!

Gary Fox

From Mrs Mandy Fox

Loved and missed every day, but more so at Christmas, Gary, the biggest kid of all at Christmas, held in all our hearts whilst remembering all the brilliant Christmas's we enjoyed together. Special kisses for grandad from Brooke, Blake, Seb and Elody xxxx

Daniel Parks

From Mrs Kimberley Bull

Miss you Dad more and more each day. There is a big part of my heart which you held, that can never be filled. I'll always remember the childish playfulness we had and always getting told off. You'll always be my daddy dumpling darling. Wish you were here to see mine and Nick's first child. Love you always, forever your little girl. Kimberley. Xxx

David Goodridge & The Cooper & Goodridge Family

From Mrs Jacqueline Goodridge

Christmas has lost its sparkle for me since the loss of both my soulmate, David, and many of our respective family members. I still embrace the religious significance, but sorely miss our family getting together to enjoy this very special celebration.

Debbie Odams

From Ms. Teresa Jaques

My little Sister who suffered so much pain & we wished we could have taken it away. You fought to be with us to the very end. It’s true what they say “you don’t realise what you have until it’s gone” I was a rubbish big Sister which I deeply regret Deb???? Love you Always Teresa Xxxxxxxx

Catherine Alycia

From Miss Sarah Heward

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
