Whilst Dad didn't use the hospice in his lifetime he had many relatives that did and he was a big supporter of St Barnabas being a local lad. After such a tough year he will be missed at Christmas and we think this is a lovely way to remember him.
Mum & Dad – still missed & loved. Remembering you both at Christmas xxx
Christmas was always mums favourite time of year, it’s just not the same without you! Love you Heather xxx

RIP my darling husband David 1year today Christmas and our lives will never be the same miss you so much until we meet again
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.
We all love and miss you dearly granny!
We will hold your stories with us forever!
Love Tash, Bex, Evie and Jacob x
christmas isnt the same without you loved christmas and we love youxx
Another Christmas without you, will love and miss you always
Thank-you mum for making all of my Christmas Days so lovely. Nearly one year without you and things will never be the same but I will always do my best to make Christmas special. I've even made a cake this year! I love you, I know you are there, Happy Christmas xxx
Eric was a special human being, he was the leader of our family. A role model that all could up to, who you could count on to check how you were and the only true representation of our family.
After 64 years together there's a big gap in life, very much loved and missed. The first Christmas alone will be hard. Lots of love, Derek
I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.
Wonderful memories of great times spent together. Adrenalin-fuelled planning, 'who' was coming and 'when'? Last minute shopping a certainty! The fraught stages of prep forgotten as the day filled with love, laughter, and good cheer. Remembered now with great love as that Christmas Table shrinks, albeit gradually.
Thinking of you Rod, Love you forever mate
Love Josh

To the most amazing mum who had such a fight in those last few weeks and we couldn’t have done it without the help of St Barnabas home team and many more. Miss you so much xxx
