Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.
Happy Christmas Mum missed all day every day xx
Forever the brightest star , forever my Christmas angel.
Love you to the moon and back xxx
Always loved and remembered by all your family xxx
Another Christmas without you both, yet not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. This time of year still doesn’t feel the same, but I reflect on every moment we got to share. The grief of your absence is strongest amidst the festive joy, yet it reminds me how fortunate I was to be so deeply loved.
Merry Christmas, Grandma & Grandad –
cheers to you with a Sherry or two!
I’ll light a candle in memory of you;
two loving hearts still guide me through.
All my love, forever and more –
I’ll see one day, waiting at Heaven’s door. ♥️
We always remember when Mum miss judged her chair and ended up in the Christmas Tree, that hold your breath moment where you wait to see if they are hurt or laughing, and luckily it was laughing especially when she realised a bauble landed in the gravy boat.

The most loving and beautiful parents anyone could wish for. Holding you in our hearts forever ❤️
Uncle David, who dressed as Santa for all the children when I was little. One of my earliest childhood memories. Xx
Love, like starlight, never dies xxxx Love you always, Mum
Thinking of you this Christmas, remembering the fun times and hoping that you are both enjoying a festive celebration together with the angels.
Love you both

St Barnabas made it possible for my husband to spend his last weeks at home as he wished and I was well supported.
Miss you everyday xx
Christmas is never the same again after a loved one dies but you learn to be grateful for the happy memories and to look for the good in every day.
Dave and Karen, you are both loved so very much.
My grandma collected on behalf of St Barnabas for many years prior to her sad passing. I spent the majority of my Christmas’s with her, sharing the festive day which normally ended with some games of scrabble, of course, she always won! In honour of all the work she did to help St Barnabas, I want to carry on her legacy by supporting this charity which was very close to her heart.
Always in our hearts.
Valerie, Ellen & Craig xxx
A life time of love and friendship for that I will always be grateful
This will be our first Christmas without you but I know you'll be there in spirit
We miss you more each day.
Love you loads.
