Jeannette Goodwin
From Miss Eden Laughton
Jeannettes poem,
When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.
Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

From Mrs. Eloise Drysdale
I’ll be lighting up a life again for my Pops.. this is a special occasion and so moving.. We like to think he’s shining bright on top of the Christmas tree and like to visit throughout the festive period. St Barnabas means a lot to us they give amazing care as the most difficult times not only to their patients but families too.. I’ll also be dedicating lights to my Mama, Grangrad & Ella.. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS ♥️???????? xx
Lisa Tear
From Mr. Magnus Tear
Lisa was diagnosed with terminal Melanoma in 2020 and when the time came was cared for, as she had wished, by the wonderful " Angels" that work at the St Barnabas Hospice in Lincoln. I can say without a moments hesitation that from the second we arrived at the Hospice the care and attention that was shown to Lisa and all our family was simply unbelievable in every way. We will always be thankful for those last few days that made a heart breaking time a little more bearable for us all. I am not a particularly religious person but i say "God bless each and everyone of you". Thank you and Happy Christmas to you all.
