Setting up the tree

In memory of my lovely wife Mary who passed away aged 85 after 65 wonderful years.of married life.

For an unforgettable wife of 48 years, who was take by Cancer 11 years ago in November 2013.
Jill was a loving mother and grandmother who can never be replaced.
Why is life so cruel?

My Dad was a lovely kind , caring family man, who enjoyed nothing more at Christmas time than sharing lunch and a beer or two with his close and extended family. We will all be missing and thinking of him with all our hearts at this special family time of the year. Love you always Dad. X

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

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.

Dad, we all miss you as much, and more, today as the day you left us. Life just isn’t the same without you in it. Love you so much xxxxx

Remembering all the lovely Christmases we shared together as a family.

Loving husband and Father – greatly missed.

Dear Dad,
Each day I miss you and wish you were here
But how blessed am I to have so many precious memories that keep you near.
I listen for you in the music we enjoyed and shared
And, even though a tear may fall, my spirits are lifted and I know you're not far away at all.
Love you Dad – always.

My little Sister who suffered so much pain & we wished we could have taken it away. You fought to be with us to the very end. It’s true what they say “you don’t realise what you have until it’s gone” I was a rubbish big Sister which I deeply regret Deb???? Love you Always Teresa Xxxxxxxx

Thankyou Dad for your love, dedication and valuable guidance you showed to me. Your legacy of fairness and compassion will always be with me. Thinking of you fondly,not only at Christmas,but all the year through. Love "P" xxx

A beautiful and loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, forever loved, forever missed.

Whilst Dad didn't use the hospice in his lifetime he had many relatives that did and he was a big supporter of St Barnabas being a local lad. After such a tough year he will be missed at Christmas and we think this is a lovely way to remember him.

Still love and miss you Darling. Always thinking of you xxxx

Gill. Although you are not with us in person we see you and feel you every day in our hearts, and we have some of the best conversations. We still go everywhere together hand in hand and we always will. I hear you shout encouragement to the boys when they play football and I know they feel your support. We love you so much, Kevin, Claire Brett Rosie, Stuart Heidi Jayden Jacob & Jess xxxxxxxxx

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you.
I hope you're looking down and watching over me.
Miss you always

He was a Disney loving man who loved us so much.

Almost 20 years gone but I still remember the positive impact St Barnabas had. I treasure the teddy a nurse gave my mum.

My Lovely Little Lady Hannah. I love you so much and miss you every day. Your love passion and care is unrivalled.

Love You To The Moon and Back xxxxxxx

I love you all so very much.
See you soon then xxxx
