My dear Mum would have been celebrating her 90th birthday on 26th November. She loved Christmas and it was her favourite time of year.

Wonderful memories of great times spent together. Adrenalin-fuelled planning, 'who' was coming and 'when'? Last minute shopping a certainty! The fraught stages of prep forgotten as the day filled with love, laughter, and good cheer. Remembered now with great love as that Christmas Table shrinks, albeit gradually.

could you please send three separate cards and decorations as the sister one is for my aunty

Beautiful people , sorely missed. May their light shine on.

forever in my thoughts and always in my heart especially at Christmas.
Love you Jan xx.

Dad
We miss your smiling face every day. Life is a little dimmer without you in it.
Love you always,
Jen xoxoxo

Missed every day

Remembering Mick this Christmas, he passed away in the hospice 23rd October 2019. Always missed and never forgotten.

This Christmas is the first without my beloved Grandma, Sylvia. My Grandma loved Christmas and I cherish lots of memories around the Christmas period that I had with her.
Shine bright Gma and I hope you’re pulling all the crackers up there. I love you.

Thinking of you always with love

My friend Brigitte is from Australia and visited Lincoln every two years when she came to England for a holiday she was very dear to me we met on holiday in Whitby in 1997 and wrote to each other sadly on my birthday this year she passed away aged 66 I’ve just found out from a family member. Brigitte thank you for many years of happiness and our strong friendship I will treasure it forever. God bless you my dear friend xx

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.

A wonderful husband, dad and grandad who is sorely missed. Xx

My beautiful daughter I miss you so much Mel I know life could be a struggle.for you and you are now at peace, no more tears, struggles and pain I love you so much always in my heart ❤️❤️ love mum and dad xx
