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.

Merry Christmas to my dad my hero, it’s just not the same without you, we miss you checking ‘he has been’
Love you always
Rach xXx

Almost 3 years ago we lost our Mum very suddenly and at a young age to cancer. We are so grateful to all of the staff at St. Barnabas who treated Mum with such respect and love. Sadly in the space of just a few years we have had three family members who have all needed care from the team at St Barnabas. The work they all do is just amazing and they continue to need as much help as possible to continue to provide this level of care for so many families.

Christmas time was our family time, we all miss you so much..xxxxx

Myself and my dad used to have a competition on who would have our Christmas tree up first. Dad always won! He used to ring me saying he had beat me, I really miss having that call ♡
