Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

Our first Christmas without you Oddy…. But our memories and love for you will never fade.

Love you Dad ….miss you everyday

My husband was the loveliest man, a caring dad taken 3 years ago. We loved him so much & miss him terribly.
St Barnabas hospice (Nettleham Road) looked after him in his last days. X

Mum loved Lincoln Cathedral at night, especially at Christmas when it was surrounded by Christmas trees. To know that she is being remembered by having a light dedicated to her this Christmas makes it very special.

In loving memory of Linda. Remembered by all those who knew her and loved her.
A shining light in all our memories that will never dim.

Daddy, shine bright for us wherever you are. We love and miss you every day.

All our love forever, Linney and Barbara xxx

Always in our thoughts xx

Thinking of you both at Christmas, forever in our hearts, loved and remember everyday as those we love don’t go away, forever in our hearts you stay xx
your loving family xxx

RACHAEL WAS THE PERFECT DAUGHTER, SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, COMPASSIONATE AND WAS LOVED BY EVERYONE. I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE BEEN HER FATHER.

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

Together, we saw the whole of the moon. Thank you for the days.

Janessa loved Christmas. Whether she was spending it with friends or family it was special to her. And she loved giving cards and gifts. She was such a caring girl.

Mum, miss you more than words can say.
Loved and remembered every day.

During my daughter’s life we would often attend events to raise money for St Barnabas not thinking that one day at age 30 she would receive amazing care from the hospice nurses. We miss her everyday but especially at Christmas when we all get together.

This was always your favourite time of year Mum, it’s so hard not having you here, but your memory will always live on by lighting a light and sharing your stories. I love and miss you so much Mum my Angel xxxxx

Merry Christmas Dad. The first one without you. I love you and miss you so so much!

Forever your little girl, Sophie xxxx

Missing you more everyday.

Christmas was your favourite time of year. You loved everything about it writing cards buying and wrapping gifts. There is always a place at my table for you xxxx

My Beautiful Hannah, I Miss You so Much. I Love You to the Moon and Back my Little Mole Pie xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
