My beautiful mum lost her fight for life in lincoln st barnabus hospice on 9th Jan 2020 aged 68 with me and her son and husband by her side. I held her hand tight as she took her last breath. My mum loved Christmas, even her last Christmas which she spent with her family even though she was very poorly. She managed to make Christmas special as she always did. I have so many memories but last Christmas I remember how brave and selfless she was, putting on a brave face for us all. New year 2019 I spent in A & E with mum, not knowing 9 days later I would lose her. Even then, she managed to make us laugh and her bravery shone through. To this day I still don't know how she did it. Mum….this year, Christmas for me is all about you. Wherever you are I hope you will look down and see my tree shining brightly and find us so you can be with us in spirit. I miss you so so much and I love you with everything I have. Always and forever mummy ♥ ❤ xxxxxxxxx

whenever i would see uncle jimmy at my nan’s house at christmas he’d always play any game i wanted, i had this toy snake and a stuart little teddy and he’d sit with me and go along with any game i said. it always makes me think of him when i see my nephews now play with those toys.

Dear Granny Grandad, Auntie Bridget, Great Granny and Grandad Flynn and Great Granny and Grandad McGregor, we all miss you very very much especially around a special time as Christmas when we wish you could all be with us. Some of you , Granny, Great Granny& Grandad Flynn and McGregor I’ve unfortunately never got to meet you but some of you may remember me as a tiny baby but I wish that I was blessed with time with all of you to really know what wonderful people you really were but luckily I feel so close to you and I have so many stories from everyone to learn so much about you all and I know you are always with me. Grandad, I got so many wonderful years with you but I’m still not over the fact you are no longer with us, the world was so much brighter with you in it. With your passion for music, your warm embrace whenever you gave me a hug, so tight but so warm. Your determination with everything you did and the fact you just were my best friend in the whole world. Christmas is very hard without you, you would always be helping around the house doing piles of ironing or helping mum with some DIY or suddenly on Christmas Day saying we needed to take the dining room door off ha ha, you were full of surprises. I miss you so very much and I love you, please kiss Granny for me and tell her I am always thinking of her. And Auntie Bridget, who basically became my Granny, you were a pillar in my life, you taught me so much about cooking, elegance and grace, you devotion to God was so admirable and really rubbed off on me. Your gentle voice and guidance in everything raised me to be who I am today. I miss you so much sometimes when I’m having a bad day all I can think of is how much I need you. But I know you are with me and i with you.
Merry Christmas to my wonderful family who are never forgotten and so happy in our thoughts.

To My amazing Dad who sadly will not be with us this Christmas . You will always be remembered ❤️ we are so lucky to have so many fond memories to cherish.
You were my rock and the foundation of The Barkle family . Love you for ever Caroline , Simon, Hayley, Carla, Harry, Ben, Elliot and not forgetting your little fusser Ivy who we know meant the world to you xxx

Love always sweetheart
