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.

Catherine Alycia
From Miss Sarah Heward
Mum,
Another Christmas approaches without you, after you were so abruptly taken from our lives and our world was shattered. Let this light shine for you and be a lasting memory of the beautiful, stunning, kind soul that you were. Let this light be a mark of your time here on earth, and for the love and memories you gave us. You were quite simply unforgettable to anyone who met you.
I love and miss you Mum, with every piece of my broken heart.
Forever my Mum, Forever your little Girl.
Until we meet again x
Elaine Walker
From Mrs Kathryn Kibby
Mum, Christmas won't be the same without you, but I promise there will be laughter amongst the tears. You gave us all so many magical, joyful Christmas memories (and delicious food!). That magic will never fade.
You spent your life helping others, and now I know first hand just how invaluable St. Barnabas nurses like you are.
To all of you at St. Barnabas, you are angels on earth.

We will remember our nanna because she helped Joe build his lego carousel last Christmas, because she made Evie two aprons, and the one with castles on it is her favourite, and for all the pennies she gave Joe and Evie every year for the advent calendars she made for them. We will so miss our Nanna this Christmas but we will love you forever. Joe and Evie xxxx
