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.

However hard the grief is I know I'm fortunate to have had both these lovely people in my life.
To my big brother, Dave and my best friend, Karen – love never dies.

We miss you so much mum, you may be gone but never forgotten and forever in our hearts.

Christmas can be a magical but sad time.

I have wonderful memories of times past that bring me great joy and you were a central part of them. I have to learn how to accept that our journeys are different now.

Always in my heart and in my memories, with love Mum. To a very special woman from your daughter.

Ezra was a wonderful husband and father and kind to everyone. He had a gift for handling animals and could calm a nervous or aggressive animal with his kind and gentle manner. He was loved by his family, friends and neighbours who miss him sadly but we can treasure memories of the happy times with had when he was with us.

To our beloved mum, Nanna and great Nanna we shine a light in your memory we miss you much. We think about you every day. We know you are around us guiding us on our way and keeping watch over us. Words can’t say how much we miss you, there’s a big hole in our lives. Love always xxx

Thinking of members of my family who sadly are not here to share Christmas with us this year. Sorely missed.

Remembering you all not just at Christmas but every day as your missed very much & in my thoughts xxx

Daniel, Not having you with us all to celebrate Christmas is not something we will ever get use to. This year our first without you will be so hard however Ethan, Harper and I will try to smile and fill it full of laughter like you would have done. Your sense of humour is what got us all through the hardest of times. We will all use this same outlook on life at Christmas to make it as special as it can be. You will be in our thoughts and in all that we do xx You are so missed, yet still loved so much xx

St Barnabes allowed us all as a family to have that quality time. The children were able to spend time with their Dad in a comfortable and safe setting. The staff went above and beyond for us all and embraced Dans wicked sense of humour. They made him feel safe and cared for him with such compassion and dignity. We were all looked after nothing was ever too much trouble. The most important thing they did was allowed us to have some extra time and memories.

Having a light shine in honour of Dan warms our hearts and gives us some comfort.

It was never goodbye but see you soon
Every day is a Dan day
Forever loved

Always Vicky, Ethan and Harper xx

Every

Knowing we can give back to them in this way helps us all feel we are doing something when a Thank you just isn’t enough for our gratitude.

Another year without you but you are remembered every day and truly missed xx
