Thinking of you this Christmas Mum. Xxxx

We will remember the Christmas Nativity’s and shows you used to organise and do and we’d play games for hours. Christmas is a special time for us all.

First Christmas without Dad and what would have been his 80th Birthday on Boxing Day.
Daddy Sharman we miss you every day. You will always be loved and never forgotten.
All our love,
Dan & Gem

All dad used to ask for every Christmas was a “nice jumper and a nice aftershave”. Once he’d unwrapped them he’d immediately put on the jumper and spray himself all over and sit with a smile on his face.
Miss you dad x

Dad, you passed away 18th Oct 2020, you were our hero and the strength and backbone of our family.
Mum, you passed away 20th Dec 2020, you were always there for us when we needed to talk. We are all so shocked but understand that you didn’t want to be separated from dad after being together for 58 years.
We are devastated and in so much pain right now from losing you both, the only bit of comfort we have is knowing that you are back together, side by side where you belong. Please don’t worry about us, in time we will be ok and we will look out for one another like you’ll want us to do.
We will never forget you and everything you did for us, you will be missed so much and our lives from now on will never be the same.
Take care of one another mum and dad, we’ll see you again one day, sleep tight,
Your loving daughters,
Michele, Simone and Rosalind

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.

Treasured Dad Will Be Missed This Christmas and Always..

Love you Always
From Kylie xx

My Dad died in St Barnabas Hospice on 7th October 1994 & I will never forget all you did for us as a family.
My Mum died on 1st August 2014 & my lovely husband on 10th August 2016.
I miss them all every day but more so at this time of year.
They will always be loved & forever in my heart.

Mum, Christmas won't be the same without you, but I promise there will be laughter amongst the tears. You gave us all so many magical, joyful Christmas memories (and delicious food!). That magic will never fade.

You spent your life helping others, and now I know first hand just how invaluable St. Barnabas nurses like you are.

To all of you at St. Barnabas, you are angels on earth.

I will always remember our Christmas just the 3 of us in the Cayman Islands and you falling off the boat at Stingray City

Remembering a very special brother, Uncle who is deeply missed but never forgotten.
Love you lots
Your dear sister Sarah and brother in law Jon and Nephew Sam

My favourite person, a best friend I miss more and more every day

Love you always. Xx

Merry Christmas mum we all miss so much I hope you’re partying hard and being you up. Forever missed forever loved xxx

Will always love and miss you. Love your little girl xxx

We always knew losing you would be heartbreaking but never imagined such emptiness and we miss you so much. So many memories and I miss our chats, company and sense of humour. A candle is constantly burning for you and always in be in our hearts. I hope one day we can meet again but until then say hi to Grandad/Dad, David, Auntie Margaret and all the animals. Love you always, Louise, Carol, Scott, Sam, Mike, Jack and Richard xxx

We are remembering my Grandad. An amazing trombone player in his day as well as a terrifically talented joiner. My Grandad was like a built in best friend. So funny, his smile and laugh just lit up the entire room. And I would always feel safe and secure whenever he was near, he just had a calming presence. He always reassured you that you would be fine and give you a big squeeze and you would instantly feel better. My grandad was so determined, this showed when he had a stroke when I was younger and he had to learn how to read, write and speak again and he did. He passed away two years ago now from falling on a rainy day and after all he had achieved recovering from those traumas, it left such a hole in our lives for him to be suddenly taken when he was so healthy. Our lives are definitely different without him as he was such a light and a joy. Everyone who met him says the same, he was just a force of nature. The best husband, father and grandad in the world.
We are also remembering my Granny (Grandad’s wife) unfortunately she passed when I was a baby so I didn’t get much time with her, which really upsets me but when I hear all the wonderful and also funny stories about her I truly feel like I know her so well. She was so kind, so creative, also a force of nature. She was very determined, she ran a restaurant whilst taking care of her family and just had so many feathers to her cap! She had an eye for detail. I wish I could have spent years on end with her, going around antique shops which she so dearly loved. She was a treasured wife, mother and Granny.
We are also remembering my Auntie Bridget. When my granny passed away Auntie Bridget sort of took on the role of Granny duties. And to this day , I can say she truly shaped who I am. She was so kind, so delicate, always fair. Auntie Bridget loved church and keeping her rosary beads close to her (which is something I like to do now because of her), everything in her home was perfect and beautiful. Some of the best memories of my childhood are school holidays at my Auntie Bridget’s. And walking through her front door and getting a whiff of her homemade chicken soup that she was cooking. Everyone who knew her, held a special place in their hearts for Auntie Bridget and that’s a fact. We miss her everyday.

And finally we are remembering my Granny Flynn (Auntie Bridget’s sister and my Mums Granny) she too passed when I was baby so I don’t have any memories with her and I so wish I did because of the stories I hear she was such a kind and wonderful person to know. I have one picture of her holding me when I was just born, I’m asleep in her lap and she is looking down at me just like an angel and she is so very gently holding my tiny hand with the tips of her fingers, the picture is so beautiful and special because although I never knew her that picture shows how much she loved me and how many memories we would have made together , the memories would have been wonderful. My mum describes her as so elegant and very much “a lady” and she was a huge part of my mum’s growing up, almost everyday they would see her, she was like a “second mum”. It just shows how treasured she was.

Forever Loved and Missed

Always with me dad, love you and miss you loads xxx
