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.
To an amazing mum and dad, always in our hearts x
Almost 20 years gone but I still remember the positive impact St Barnabas had. I treasure the teddy a nurse gave my mum.
In memory of our wonderful Mum and Dad.
Missed everyday, remembered forever
Love from
Debbie and Suzanne xx
Always on my mind xxx
I have supported St Barnabas every year since dad passed and will continue to do so. Always in my heart along with all the memories made ❤️
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.
This is our first Christmas without you, our beautiful daughter. You were taken so young. Life will never be the same but you will always be in our hearts and we will love you forever xxxx

Mackenzie I have lots of special memories. Best memory of you is buying what you thought were 2 male gerbils and then finding loads of babies. We all love and miss you..
This lady was a student of mine and I remember her coming to Class along with several of her neighbours in Bailgate. Philly always had a smile on her face. I will always remember her fondly.
For my beautiful, brave mum.
To our shining star and best friend. You always lit up a room with your smile and laughter. Miss you everyday. Keep dancing…xxx
