We had the best Christmases ever growing up. We miss you.

Always thinking of you Mum ❤

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.

We love you very much mum and grandma. Forever grateful to St Barnabas. Love. Jade and Fred xx

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

I miss your laughter, wisdom, advice and most of all your presence – all in all I miss you dad!! Hope you are having fun up there and keep visiting me in the garden ???? xx

Two ladies who were earth angels. So kind and beautiful with gentle souls. I loved Christmas with Hilary my sister, we would shake and rattle presents to try guess what they were. Always hoped dinner would finish in time for top of the pops, so we could dance. My mum Ivy always cooked a splendid dinner and never asked for anything for herself.
Both together again.. Until we meet again, merry christmas beautiful ones.
All my love
Eileen

Love and miss you everyday ❤️ always in my thoughts xxx

Janessa loved Christmas. Whether she was spending it with friends or family it was special to her. And she loved giving cards and gifts. She was such a caring girl.

My dad passed away 15 days ago at home with me holding his hand. I can not thank St Barnabas hospice home care enough for how they looked after my dad in his final week and how they supported me also. So much care and empathy from the nurses that tended to my dad. I will forever be grateful. Thank you
