Almost 3 years ago we lost our Mum very suddenly and at a young age to cancer. We are so grateful to all of the staff at St. Barnabas who treated Mum with such respect and love. Sadly in the space of just a few years we have had three family members who have all needed care from the team at St Barnabas. The work they all do is just amazing and they continue to need as much help as possible to continue to provide this level of care for so many families.

It is 5 months since you left us Mum.
We miss you so much but hope you are now at peace.
Christmas will never be the same and we will think of you at this special time.
Lots of love from us all xxxxx

Love you and miss you both . Hope you’re both in a lovely place together . xx

With love at Christmas grandad now and always. Forever in my heart and never forgotten. Miss you and love you always. Love Lucy x x x x x

Dad, You were always the shining light of any room you walked in, if only you could have seen that. Your wings were ready but my heart definitely was not. Dad, My hero, always and forever. Remembering you this Christmas and every day xxx

Spending time with my Dad and my daughter would play with his toy bikes with him

Shine bright Mason. We all miss you x

You will always be our shinning light, lighting up our sky at night
Forever in our hearts, we love you so, so shine bright for us to know
You are always with us xx

Miss you everyday
Simon and Emma

We are remembering my Grandad. An amazing trombone player in his day as well as a terrifically talented joiner. My Grandad was like a built in best friend. So funny, his smile and laugh just lit up the entire room. And I would always feel safe and secure whenever he was near, he just had a calming presence. He always reassured you that you would be fine and give you a big squeeze and you would instantly feel better. My grandad was so determined, this showed when he had a stroke when I was younger and he had to learn how to read, write and speak again and he did. He passed away two years ago now from falling on a rainy day and after all he had achieved recovering from those traumas, it left such a hole in our lives for him to be suddenly taken when he was so healthy. Our lives are definitely different without him as he was such a light and a joy. Everyone who met him says the same, he was just a force of nature. The best husband, father and grandad in the world.
We are also remembering my Granny (Grandad’s wife) unfortunately she passed when I was a baby so I didn’t get much time with her, which really upsets me but when I hear all the wonderful and also funny stories about her I truly feel like I know her so well. She was so kind, so creative, also a force of nature. She was very determined, she ran a restaurant whilst taking care of her family and just had so many feathers to her cap! She had an eye for detail. I wish I could have spent years on end with her, going around antique shops which she so dearly loved. She was a treasured wife, mother and Granny.
We are also remembering my Auntie Bridget. When my granny passed away Auntie Bridget sort of took on the role of Granny duties. And to this day , I can say she truly shaped who I am. She was so kind, so delicate, always fair. Auntie Bridget loved church and keeping her rosary beads close to her (which is something I like to do now because of her), everything in her home was perfect and beautiful. Some of the best memories of my childhood are school holidays at my Auntie Bridget’s. And walking through her front door and getting a whiff of her homemade chicken soup that she was cooking. Everyone who knew her, held a special place in their hearts for Auntie Bridget and that’s a fact. We miss her everyday.

And finally we are remembering my Granny Flynn (Auntie Bridget’s sister and my Mums Granny) she too passed when I was baby so I don’t have any memories with her and I so wish I did because of the stories I hear she was such a kind and wonderful person to know. I have one picture of her holding me when I was just born, I’m asleep in her lap and she is looking down at me just like an angel and she is so very gently holding my tiny hand with the tips of her fingers, the picture is so beautiful and special because although I never knew her that picture shows how much she loved me and how many memories we would have made together , the memories would have been wonderful. My mum describes her as so elegant and very much “a lady” and she was a huge part of my mum’s growing up, almost everyday they would see her, she was like a “second mum”. It just shows how treasured she was.

Mum always loved Christmas and spending time with all the family. We really miss her every day and hope she can see the light shining for her xx

Thinking of you both as Christmas draws near, and of all the lovely Christmas memories we shared as a family. I planted a lilac tree in our garden this summer in your memory and can’t wait to see it flower again next year. Merry Christmas up there… gone but never forgotten. Lots of love from Hannah xxx
