The relationship between Roger and his Hospice at Home nurses epitomises the Christmas message of love and hope through the birth of Jesus. Roger's faith sustained him and, I believe, all who helped with his care that enabled him to be at home till the end.

Keep shining so brightly my darling Tony. I miss you with every heartbeat. Your chuckles Sue xxxxxxx

Wonderful Husband, Father and Pappa x

Grandma looked forward to coming round for Christmas dinner every year, so this year me and my family have decided to keep with our traditional dinner, in honor of my Grandma, and keep celebrating Christmas for her. Family is what makes us stronger and we will always remember Linda for making us strongest.

To my amazing pops, miss you so much, especially this time of year, hate the empty place at our table, know you are always with us, will love and remember you forever, your little emsie xx

You lite up our lives every day. Gone but never forgotten. We think about you every day.
Merry Christmas Mam xx

The hospice at home team were amazing at supporting my father in law in his last weeks, and allowed the family to spend that time together at his home. His grandchildren would like his light to shine on the tree of life this Christmas, as he was such a big part of all family festivities and was the ‘real’ Santa to all who knew him.

I am paying tribute to Em's almost 55 years of devotion to her children and me, whatever the circumstances, wherever we were. Tim Beath.

Always in our hearts.

Chris loved Christmas and the joy it brings to families and individuals alike. Her birthday was on the 21st December and our daughters wedding anniversary on the 22nd, so a very happy time with lots to celebrate. Chris was a Christian and had faith that Jesus would help her through the difficult times, which I am sure he did. Our Christmas festivities started by attending the carol service at the Cathedral and then getting ready for the big day with our daughter and her family. She took so much pleasure in giving and seeing the joy that it brought to others – that is what I remember about her at this time of year.

Today as most days we think of all our loved ones that we have loved and lost and it allows us to represent your life through light and your lights will shine bright as did your life.
Today also allows us to grieve for you our Beanie Boo, We felt so lucky to have created you and the day I lost you my heart broke. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet but we love you with all our heart and you have left a footprint on my heart. Love you always love Mummy and Daddy xxx

Missing you both so much.happy Christmas xx

Your love of Christmas always shone so brightly. You spent many, many hours volunteering as Father Christmas for various local charities. Such care and attention for every single child you saw. Making sure that you kept the magic alive for them ❤️ we miss you dad, always, every day, but particularly at Christmas

This is a sad and happy time of year for me; as I remember your passing in Oct 2014, but also a happy time in December as it was also your birthday and we started our celebration of Christmas by attending the Carole service in the Cathedral and then celebrated Christmas with all the family.
