Phil was the light in my life! My soul mate, best friend and much more! Phil was always willing to help anyone and is sadly missed by so many. Over the years with me he helped to raise thousands of pounds for many charities! He always found good in people and always had a welcoming smile for every one, a perfect welcoming host. Phil never had a bad word for anyone!

Mum loved Christmas. It was all about family. She was well known for buying ‘quirky’ gifts

I lost my dad 10 years ago suddenly, but my mum we lost in January 2020 after her 2 year battle with cancer, so last Christmas was our last, she was very poorly at this time but we treasured every moment we had with her.

Sylvia/mum/granny loved Christmas, it was her time of year! She absolutely loved the lights, festivities and family time – she would visit the tree of life every year to remember her loved ones.

The most amazing person ever an extra special mum grandma and matma. Will be missed always. Dedicated her life to family and also to teaching.

Mum ,
We love and miss you always and always will.
Lots of love from,
Claire, Kev, Moll, Glenn &Di
Never ever forgotten ❤️❤️❤️

My darling Paul
Life goes on, you are missed and loved every day.
Happy heavenly Christmas darling
Always in my heart.

Thinking of you and miss every day

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.

with love as always especially for mum who passed away on Christmas eve.

Always with me dad, love you and miss you loads xxx

Christmas wasn't a time dad was fussed about but he always made an effort. Asking what meat I wanted from M+S then saying it must be bloody good at that price ha ha. A walk and drink in weatherspoons and coconut talc and liquorice was always wrapped up as a gift ❤️ Memories are forever in my heart.

Fondest memories of special times spent together at Christmas.
