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.
Christmas is a really difficult time of year for me. It really is a time for family and with you both gone, it is just not the same.
I love and miss you both so much.

To my wonderful Dad, your smile always lit up any room you walked in to. I won't ever forget our fun holidays together and all the adventures we had. You always managed to calm me when I shared my worries and fears with you. You were the eternal optimist and I can still hear your voice in my heart giving me advice when ever I'm troubled. I love you so much dad and still miss you everyday. Your memory remains in my heart until we are together again xxxx
Miss you Dad, love you always xx

We spent every minute of every day together and Yvonne passed away 5 days before our silver wedding 5 years ago. She’s still with me every day. I cared for her at home for the last seven weeks with the help of St Barnabas.
After many years of friendship I hope you enjoyed your final flight.
Hi dad, we are all missing you so very much. We talk about you often and remember all the memories you gave us. We look to the night sky and find your star. It twinkles down on us all and says, " Don't worry, I'm always by your side, be strong, and remember yo live life, until we can be together again.
Love you.
Dad loved Christmas! He was always so generous with his time and with his gifts. He liked to make a real fuss of people.
We remember him every day but especially at this time of year, and raise a glass or two. We all miss him very much xx
"If I listen to my heart, I hear your laughter once more."
To remember my loved ones and everyone elses, a magical time of year that can be that little bit more difficult but with memories in the heart helps the christmas lights shine that bit brighter.
Hope you’re looking after my Phil up there Grandma, love and miss you both so much xxx
Sending you love and prayers this Christmas, Dad x x x
Although you won’t be there to finish off our Christmas dinner left overs!, you will be there in our hearts this Christmas. We will love you always grandpa.

Always missed.
My heart is still so broken each day I miss you my Butchie. You didn’t deserve what happened to you, but you took it all that was thrown at you with such grace never complaining. I would walk a million miles to see your face one more time or to talk and laugh with you. You will always be in my heart till we meet again. Love Maggie xxxxx
