This is our first Christmas without Dad, Maurice Willoughby, whom we lost in January. We miss him so much and Christmas will not be the same without him. Thank you to the wonderful St Barnabas nurses who cared for Dad during those difficult final weeks. Our family is so indebted to you all for your love and support.
Keep shining so brightly my darling Tony. I miss you with every heartbeat. Your chuckles Sue xxxxxxx
Tony
Missing you every day hard to be without you after being in my life for 65 years, married for 55 years and raising two great sons.
It’ll be hard this Christmas without you Tony.
I sang for you in the Community Choir on Tuesday night, 21 November, every word remembering our life together.
All My Love Gill xx
A light for a very special Gramps. I think of you every day and would love to think I will see you again one day.
Love Lucy xx

To my amazing and much loved mum who passed away on 7 November 2022. You were the strongest woman I have ever known and I feel so proud that I was your daughter.
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.
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.
Mum,
Forever loved, forever missed xxx
You are forever in our hearts and very much missed. Lots of love from Mark, Paula & The Bunnies. XXxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
TREASURED MEMORIES AND MISS YOU ALWAYS

Loving dad, grandad, friend to many so sorely missed.
Brian & I were married on 7th December and had just celebrated a Wedding Anniversary 6 days before he passed away from a terminal illness. I miss my soulmate more than anything in the world & will love him for always. We had such a wonderful marriage making beautiful memories which are mine to treasure. I hope he is looking down on our beautiful grandchildren, we had 2 when he passed away and now we have 6, such blessings to me which keep me strong. Brian was 64 when he passed away 9 years ago on 13th December 2012. Sleep peacefully my darling until we meet again xx
This will be our first Christmas without Dave, he was an amazing husband, step-dad, son-in-law and friend. We all miss him every day of our lives and it was so cruel that he was taken from us far too soon. His memory will live on and he will forever by in our hearts. With all our love, forever. XXX
10th March 1958 – 11th December 2017

Loved and remembered every day, and especially at Christmas 🎄

To Dad, my hero,
I think of you and miss you every single day. There is a dad shaped hole in my heart that feels more prominent at this time of year.
This light is dedicated to you. May it shine as bright as your smile.
Merry Christmas.
Love you always
Jen xoxoxo
Christmas is the hardest time without you. Always thinking about you everyday. Missing you so much. Love ❤️ you so much with all my heart . Sending you big hugs. Xxxxxxx
Emma is our daughter, born 14 June 1988, who stayed with us for just one day. We have taken part in the Light a Light procession every year since, this is her part of Christmas.
Tilly is our first grandchild, born March 2020, whom we have not been able to meet and cuddle yet due to the COVID Pandemic and travel restrictions across the World. Instead of being able to show her the Christmas Tree in person, to have her own light shining on it is the next best thing.
We will be missing you on this first Xmas without you . Always loved never forgotten , Sue xx
Gillian loved the Christmas season and enjoyed hosting family on Boxing Day. This will be our first Christmas without her and she will be missed.
We love you.
