Think about and miss you every day. All my love Fiona xx

Kind generous fun loving lady missed so much by all. Our 1st Christmas without our Nickie????????

The team at St Barnabas looked after my uncle with such care and dignity. I will never forget everything the truly amazing team at the inpatient unit does for everyone of their patients. They deserve the world. I'm so happy to carry a torch in my uncles memory, and to support such amazing people.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Wish you was here to see my beautiful family. You would love my wife and step son Carter and Sebastian is growing up to be a little genius. Love you always dad xxxxxxx

Your light still shines brightly in my life and you are sorely missed.xxx

Wishing you a happy heavenly Christmas dad. I miss you so much and think about you everyday. Love you always and forever, Stacey xxxxxxx

The best dad anyone could wish yo have.
Lots of love always and forever ❤️

Missing you both very much and remembering all of the wonderful memories of been with you both.
Lots of Love Sylv, Lauren , Greg , Louise, Tilli, Indie and Ava

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.

He was so much fun! He is very much loved and missed.

Thinking of you both at Christmas, forever in our hearts, loved and remember everyday as those we love don’t go away, forever in our hearts you stay xx
your loving family xxx

Always loved and missed.

Probably his least favourite time of year but I’m sure he’d rather be with us in his tacky Christmas waistcoat. We certainly wish he was still sat at the other end of the Christmas table for years to come.

You will always be in our hearts, loving wife, mother and Nanna. Miss you xxxx

Always thinking of our wonderful parents at Xmas
All our love Ron and Max.

Shining a light on your life and precious memories of you this Christmas. Xx

Our first Christmas without you, we had so many with you, it will be very hard. My best mate, I miss you x

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.

Merry Christmas Mum. I know you're shining as bright in the sky as you did in life. Love you always xxx
