Roy spent many happy years on his boat moored at Brayford Pool.
We remember him fondly as a charming and kind man, much missed by his family and friends.

In memory of our incredible Nana/Nana-in-law who we so so dearly miss❤️ Chinese takeaways will never be the same without you Nana Jayne❤️ We love you forever and think of you always❤️

For an unforgettable wife of 48 years, who was take by Cancer 11 years ago in November 2013.
Jill was a loving mother and grandmother who can never be replaced.
Why is life so cruel?

My father died at the age of 39 and my sister at 19 and despite these tragedies, my mother lived to the age of 84. They are always in my thoughts. I have had the good fortune to have lived just over twice as long as my dad and just over four times longer than my sister!

2 years on from losing you and missing you so much that words are not enough. Our lives are so much poorer without you. You loved Christmas so much as it was a time our children and grandchildren were altogether and the inevitable empty chair at the table now is such a brutal reminder you are no longer with us. Rest in peace my love. Your beloved wife Di xxxx

In loving memory of my darling daughter Tanya. A beautiful girl with a beautiful soul who was loved dearly by all her family.
I miss you so much my darling daughter my heart is broken.
Please wait for mummy to come to you.
I love you Tanya with all my heart ❤️ xxxxx

We love you very much mum and grandma. Forever grateful to St Barnabas. Love. Jade and Fred xx

It'll be 10 years since you both died, soon. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like another lifetime ago.
You are both loved and missed always, especially at Christmas time.

Hello, I have made a kind donation in memory of my amazing mum, Sarah and would love to share her story.

My mum was cared for by St Barnabas hospice, and stayed in the inpatient unit November-December 2024. At the age of 38 she had been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of genetic lung cancer. Her short battle with cancer was terrible for us all to see, but the incredible care she received at your hospice meant the world to us.

One of the last memories we ever made with our mum was watching the torchlight procession together outside the unit. The staff assisted in bundling my mum up in blankets and fluffy socks and wheeled her outside to watch the light walk with her family and children. There were tears, smiles, laughter, kind words and hugs from those passing by. I am heartbroken yet honoured to be participating in the walk this year in honour of my mother.

On the 4th of December, the staff set up their conservatory to allow us to spend one last Christmas Day as a family. We laid presents under the beautiful tree, played music and ate a Christmas dinner and cakes brought in by family. My mum was able to watch her young boys and teenage girls open the presents she’d picked out for them earlier in the year, alongside being spoilt herself with lots and lots of bracelets, teddy bears and skincare! The nurses were constantly on hand to assist with pain management and ensuring my mum was comfortable throughout the day.

The staff gave it their all, from washing, brushing and drying mum’s hair to being there for a broken family in the worst moments of their life. They went above and beyond to allow us to make those last memories. The nurses constantly spoke to me and my siblings and ensured we were staying as strong as possible! Mandy stayed with us as my mum took her last breaths and I’m forever grateful that we had her support and guidance, and that she showed my mum complete compassion and gentle care right up until the end.

My mum was treated with respect and dignity until the moment she left your unit. She loved the yummy food, joking around with her nurses and watching the squirrels and birds from her window. It felt like home.

Thank you St Barnabas, we will always keep your charity close to our hearts. You have made a huge difference to our lives.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Mum and Dad.
I miss you both so much but am thankful for every memory and moment spent with you.
Love you both with all my heart, then, now and always

I miss your laughter, wisdom, advice and most of all your presence – all in all I miss you dad!! Hope you are having fun up there and keep visiting me in the garden ???? xx

My grandma collected on behalf of St Barnabas for many years prior to her sad passing. I spent the majority of my Christmas’s with her, sharing the festive day which normally ended with some games of scrabble, of course, she always won! In honour of all the work she did to help St Barnabas, I want to carry on her legacy by supporting this charity which was very close to her heart.

In memory of Anne Skinns and thanking St Barnabas for their support.
