Our first Christmas without you both, we are so lucky to have so many happy memories to cherish. All our love, always.

Gary lived life to the full, working tirelessly for the community. He will be sorely missed.

Shine bright Mum, love and miss you so much. Never forgotten ❤️

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.

Loved so much and missed by us all every day. So thankful we have so many precious memories Xxx

To my Dad for being a rock to me and supporting me at my lowest. My fondest memory was spending time watching our favourite team Oldham Athletic home and away through the years. I love and miss you Dad xx

We lost these two dearly loved parents 21 years and 7 years ago respectively. They will be forever in our hearts. Dedicating this light will be a symbol of them shining bright upon our lives, walking beside us always. God bless.

Remembering our amazing incredible mum/nannie today and everyday.

My best friend, my world, my inspiration; always with me in my heart and all that I do.

Our beautiful, guiding light, we miss and love you; our memories of times together carry us on..

Shine bright

Love always Caroline, Chris, Harry & Adam xxx

To my beautiful wifey Linda at Christmas.
You were and still are the light of my life. Now your light will shine brightly under the moon, and I love you to the moon and back.
With all my love
