Our first Christmas without our wonderful and very precious mother who died on 21/11/23 from Ovarian Cancer … we will never get over losing the most special lady ever ????

My message to Jim:
Though I miss you everyday,
We will never truly part.
For part of you lives on with me,
Forever in my heart.

Happy Christmas dad – Christmas wasn’t really your thing but you tolerated it for us :-). Miss you. Xxx

Missed as always but your light continues to shine into my darkness

This is the 10th Christmas without you.
Another year too of you not playing Father Christmas for the playgroup.
All the family will be thinking of you. Xx

We will be thinking of you as always this Christmas. It is the first Christmas that our family is back together in your old house, so it will bring back so many happy memories. You will both be missed, especially Grandad’s jokes and Grandma’s mince pies and trifle!

Lots of love,

Hannah, Lucy, Ian and Ruth xxx

I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.

I love you with all my heart . I miss you so much

My Nana was so much more than just my Nana, she was the most incredible, caring, loving, selfless person I knew. It was and always will be an honour to be her granddaughter. Her love was like no other, her strength and faith unwavering through every single trial and tribulation. She was our Rai of sunshine and our light in the dark, so tonight we will be her light because she no longer can.
Love you until the end of time Nana, from ‘your girls’🤍

Merry Christmas mum/ nan we miss you more than ever. Keep shining like you always did. Love you xxx

Daddy, shine bright for us wherever you are. We love and miss you every day.

All our love forever, Linney and Barbara xxx

Another year has passed without you, the love of my life, but precious memories will stay with me forever. Love you always xx

To My Dear little Mum Annie, and Wonderful Partner Jamie, losing you both so close together left me devastated and heartbroken but I know the Strength of love between us will never die, you will both live on in my heart forever. Merry Christmas my Angels.xxxx

Dad was cared for by St Barnabas inpatient unit for just over 3 weeks this year and they did a fabulous job to make dad comfortable and pain free as per his wishes. Also doing all they could to involve us during the pandemic. Dad lived in Lincoln all his life and memories with him will always be in our heart. Lighting a light for him will light up the memories we have of him, especially being the first Christmas period without him.

Second Christmas without you but you are thought about every single day. Merry Christmas Mum. Miss and love you today and every day. Xx

The light of Jesus shines through all those who work in St. Barnabas
Hospice. Thank you so much for your love and support.

Forevermore in our hearts
Mum and dad
Love always
