Dear Nan, you were the light of our lives and the heartbeat of our family. Losing you so suddenly has left a void that can never be filled. Our lives will never be the same without you, but I promise you will never be forgotten nor will the ones you lost in your life either. Your love and kindness will always be with us, guiding us through the darkest times. Here's a message you can use:

Christmas was always your favourite time of year, and we will honour you by keeping all of our traditions alive. We will make sure to celebrate in true style, just as you would have wanted. Your spirit will be with us every step of the way, and we’ll cherish those memories as we come together as a family xx

Mum, miss you more than words can say.
Loved and remembered every day.

Bills favorite place was Disney world and we used to go on an ride with ET and at the end ET would say goodbye to you including your name. Bill made up a different name each time so ET would say "good bye Bob" and it would make me laugh so much!

Our 1st Christmas without you ???? Miss you every day little sis love from us all xxx

I have supported St Barnabas every year since dad passed and will continue to do so. Always in my heart along with all the memories made ❤️

Dad passed away in March this year and Christmas just won't be the same this year. Every Christmas he would send a lovely card to all of his Grandchildren and on the back of the envelope he would always put a smiley face sticker. Every birthday he would do the same. The kids would always look forward to the cards and sticker on the back. He did this for many many years. At his funeral we stuck a smiley face sticker on his coffin. He would have laughed his unmistakable laugh at this as he had a great sense of humour. We love and miss you dearly Dad /Grandad and now Great Grandad xxx

Missing my mam and dad, as both passed away at Christmastime

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

We miss our wonderful Grandma so very much- she’d be so proud of our ever expanding family. We shall all raise a glass of Sherry in her honour this Christmas!

Always in our hearts. We love and miss you so much xx

Always remembered

We love you very much mum and grandma. Forever grateful to St Barnabas. Love. Jade and Fred xx

Remembering Angela’s parents this and every Christmas.

Another Christmas without you both, yet not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. This time of year still doesn’t feel the same, but I reflect on every moment we got to share. The grief of your absence is strongest amidst the festive joy, yet it reminds me how fortunate I was to be so deeply loved.

Merry Christmas, Grandma & Grandad –
cheers to you with a Sherry or two!
I’ll light a candle in memory of you;
two loving hearts still guide me through.
All my love, forever and more –
I’ll see one day, waiting at Heaven’s door. ♥️

Missing you every Christmas xx

Loved and missed very much every day by us all.xx

We love you mum even though you are not with us in person you are always with us in spirit. Love you, good night and God bless xxx

Merry Christmas Dad I’m sure you will be singing entertaining and sharing your favourite tipple with your heavenly family xx love you and thank you for the amazing man you were ‘Dad’ xx

Never forgotten and always loved.

Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

It breaks my heart having a Christmas without you here Nanna. But you will forever be in our hearts. You have given me wonderful warm Christmas memories which I will cherish forever, and I will be smiling while I think of them this Christmas. Love you lots Nanna xxx

So many special memories of mum Shirley Bilton dad Alf Bilton and dad Bill Taylor thank you for all the love and care you gave to us all xxx
