From Ms Laura-Lucy King

We always remember when Mum miss judged her chair and ended up in the Christmas Tree, that hold your breath moment where you wait to see if they are hurt or laughing, and luckily it was laughing especially when she realised a bauble landed in the gravy boat.

This light is kindly donated as a gift for Gary and Judy xXx

From Mrs Mica Hollands

My Grandad Stan was my biggest fan; he never missed an opportunity to celebrate my successes or just big me up for no reason whatsoever. We were best friends, and I did everything I could to make sure that his last few years on earth were as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. My Grandad loved Christmas and the whole family being together, and we make sure to honour his memory, especially at this time of year. I love and miss you, Gramps! Mica xxxxx

My Grandma Peggy was such a kind and caring woman, with so much grace and poise. My Grandma was such a strong woman and never let anything get her down, not in her 91 & 1/2 years on this earth. I have so many fond memories of spending countless childhood Christmases with my grandma, filled with so much love and happiness. All my love, Mica xxxxx

Grandad Booth was an inspiration to the entire family. An old-fashioned man with good morales, and often the only person who could tolerate my tantrums. He'd always hand me down the sports pull-outs from the newspapers and let me stay up late to watch the football highlights. He supported me always and I fondly remember him cheering me on from the sidelines, come rain or shine. We love you, and miss you Grandad. Lots of love, Tom & Family.

Sarah Crowther

From Miss Bethany Hughes

Hello, I have made a kind donation in memory of my amazing mum, Sarah and would love to share her story.

My mum was cared for by St Barnabas hospice, and stayed in the inpatient unit November-December 2024. At the age of 38 she had been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of genetic lung cancer. Her short battle with cancer was terrible for us all to see, but the incredible care she received at your hospice meant the world to us.

One of the last memories we ever made with our mum was watching the torchlight procession together outside the unit. The staff assisted in bundling my mum up in blankets and fluffy socks and wheeled her outside to watch the light walk with her family and children. There were tears, smiles, laughter, kind words and hugs from those passing by. I am heartbroken yet honoured to be participating in the walk this year in honour of my mother.

On the 4th of December, the staff set up their conservatory to allow us to spend one last Christmas Day as a family. We laid presents under the beautiful tree, played music and ate a Christmas dinner and cakes brought in by family. My mum was able to watch her young boys and teenage girls open the presents she’d picked out for them earlier in the year, alongside being spoilt herself with lots and lots of bracelets, teddy bears and skincare! The nurses were constantly on hand to assist with pain management and ensuring my mum was comfortable throughout the day.

The staff gave it their all, from washing, brushing and drying mum’s hair to being there for a broken family in the worst moments of their life. They went above and beyond to allow us to make those last memories. The nurses constantly spoke to me and my siblings and ensured we were staying as strong as possible! Mandy stayed with us as my mum took her last breaths and I’m forever grateful that we had her support and guidance, and that she showed my mum complete compassion and gentle care right up until the end.

My mum was treated with respect and dignity until the moment she left your unit. She loved the yummy food, joking around with her nurses and watching the squirrels and birds from her window. It felt like home.

Thank you St Barnabas, we will always keep your charity close to our hearts. You have made a huge difference to our lives.

Paul Guest

From Miss Emily Guest

Christmas was always a special time between my Dad and I. Always big on traditions, we would go pick out a tree together, decorate it and the house whilst listening to Christmas music and eating mince pies!
This year marks 5 years since he passed away, and I have struggled to uphold these traditions the past 5 years, but I finally feel like I will be able to get back to them this year with the fond memories of Christmases past and smile knowing he would be happy that I can get back to enjoying a holiday that I have always loved.

Merry Christmas Dad. I love and miss you everyday. I hope that I do you proud with my Christmas tree choice!! 🙂 xxxx
