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.
You are loved and missed more with each passing year xxx

Merry Christmas Mum, miss you xx
This will be my first Christmas without my beloved Florence, and I sadly miss her with all my heart. I know that this is what Florence would have wanted as St Barnabas made her last days comfortable.
Your love of Christmas always shone so brightly. You spent many, many hours volunteering as Father Christmas for various local charities. Such care and attention for every single child you saw. Making sure that you kept the magic alive for them ❤️ we miss you dad, always, every day, but particularly at Christmas
David, the love of my life. Always on my mind, forever in my heart.

Torridon, a visit this year brought back such happy memories

Remembering our Christmas' spent together. Knitted jumpers, toys, and toilet roll holders! Family Boxing Days at Auntie Doreen's. Nativity plays, paper hats, Christmas crackers, and Christmas dinner with those alone at Burland Court! Getting tipsy, Mum's infamous sherry trifle, Dad washing the Christmas pots! So many memories for us to treasure, of my dear Mum and Dad and our wonderful Grandad and Nanny, With all our love Susan, Charlotte & David xxx
Chris loved Christmas and the joy it brings to families and individuals alike. Her birthday was on the 21st December and our daughters wedding anniversary on the 22nd, so a very happy time with lots to celebrate. Chris was a Christian and had faith that Jesus would help her through the difficult times, which I am sure he did. Our Christmas festivities started by attending the carol service at the Cathedral and then getting ready for the big day with our daughter and her family. She took so much pleasure in giving and seeing the joy that it brought to others – that is what I remember about her at this time of year.
In memory of my beautiful sister Donna Markham, who sadly passed away last year. Lovingly looked after by the staff at St Barnabas.
For my daughter…Disneyland
