although we would have loved to shared one last Christmas together,
that was not to be.
Happy Christmas to my Dad.

I didn’t get the opportunity to hold my daughter, she was taken too soon. I’ve never stopped loving you and it will be your 21st birthday this December so I would like to take this moment to wish you the best 21st birthday ever my darling daughter love mummy xxx

My dearest Peter, you have become a grandfather this year to a lovely boy. You would be so proud.

My darling Daphne, how I miss our little jaunts and chats, but somehow I feel there is a lot of you in me.

I miss you both with each and every passing day. Strange that you never met each other and yet you were so important to me in my life and continue to be so.

Forever in my heart
Laura

Remembering my dear husband, but also thankful for the excellent care and support the Hospice at Home team gave him during his last few weeks

Christmas has never been the same since losing you all. You are missed so very much. X

This is my 2nd Christmas without my beloved husband, my best friend, my soulmate, I miss you so much but carry you in heart till we meet again. xx

In loving memory of my beautiful cousin Alison Breese forever loved and sadly missed

Daniel, Not having you with us all to celebrate Christmas is not something we will ever get use to. This year our first without you will be so hard however Ethan, Harper and I will try to smile and fill it full of laughter like you would have done. Your sense of humour is what got us all through the hardest of times. We will all use this same outlook on life at Christmas to make it as special as it can be. You will be in our thoughts and in all that we do xx You are so missed, yet still loved so much xx

St Barnabes allowed us all as a family to have that quality time. The children were able to spend time with their Dad in a comfortable and safe setting. The staff went above and beyond for us all and embraced Dans wicked sense of humour. They made him feel safe and cared for him with such compassion and dignity. We were all looked after nothing was ever too much trouble. The most important thing they did was allowed us to have some extra time and memories.

Having a light shine in honour of Dan warms our hearts and gives us some comfort.

It was never goodbye but see you soon
Every day is a Dan day
Forever loved

Always Vicky, Ethan and Harper xx

Every

Knowing we can give back to them in this way helps us all feel we are doing something when a Thank you just isn’t enough for our gratitude.

Our superhero Gary, the biggest kid at Christmas, so loved and so missed.

Another year without you, forever missed Verity xxx

It’s two years since I lost my dear husband and I miss him every day.

His wife and children and grandchildren miss him so much. He was so important in all our lives.

To the best mum / nanny, dad / grandad we could of loved. You are missed every minute of the day especially at Christmas time so we every year we attend the light procession in honour of how great you both were xx lots of love always, Hayley, callum, Joshua, Raymond and Daniel xxxxx

Christmas was our special time and have many happy memories of spending it together. You are loved and missed every day but especially at Christmas. Julie and Rog

Merry Christmas Dad, I have made a donation to help shine a light on on a family's journey with the help of St.Barnabas.
We miss you tremendously,
Love always,

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

For my wonderful, beautiful Lynnie. Taken too soon, you had so much more to give. You'll be forever in my heart xx

Always in my heart xx

Merry Christmas Mum. Thinking of you always. Love John Amy & boys xx

We miss you so much Dad. Forever in our hearts and thoughts. Love you always xxx

Always thinking of our wonderful parents at Xmas
All our love Ron and Max.

HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR FOOTBALL AND COUNTRY MUSIC IN HEAVEN

Lorraine had a very difficult life, but was always cheerful. Fortunately she found happiness with her husband for a few years. I will never forget her.
