My beloved mother-in-law Pam was the most generous woman. We miss her everyday. Every Christmas she spoiled us with gifts and more food than we could eat. This will be our 2nd Christmas without her but we'll cherish our memories of her.
You were the kindest Mum ever and so sad that you never lived to enjoy all your grand children.
Remembering you Dad, will miss you this Christmas.

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.
Our 2nd Christmas without you but you will be forever in our hearts and minds. You were always the star of every party and you lit up so many people’s lives. Miss you Mum and Love you lots. Merry Christmas xx
To an amazing mum and dad, always in our hearts x
In memory of mum, Shirley Farquhar, the heart of our family, who loved Christmas with her family. A loving wife, mum and nanny and soon to be great nanny. Hard to believe our 10th Christmas without you, although you are always with us. We miss you and love you always. Eternal thanks always to the Hospice at Home team who enabled mum to be at home.
Thinking of you now and always,
All our Love
Elizabeth,
Matthew,
Jodi,
