Mum joined dad last year. And we had mum on her own for 20 plus years. My sister and me spent loads of time with mum as did our kids. Her grandkids. We miss her so much but she is dancing with our dad again. She died in Lincoln hospital January 11 2019. we thought she was coming home but died in a comfy chair. She fell asleep and never woke up.I will never forget my sister calling me at 5.45 at work. I was shaking and went into the office and burst out crying saying my mums gone. I felt like the whole world had swallowed me up. How dare they take my mum from me. But she was ready to go to my dad. Big hugs. And lots of kisses from your daughters and grandchildren. You were the rock to our family. Will never forget you. Xxx

A special lady

Lots of happy memories sadly missed

You are missed very much each and every day, and especially at Christmas and Birthdays.
Love and miss you millions Dad

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.

My Dad passed away on New Year’s Day 2020 & this will be our first Christmas without him. We all miss you & think of you every day. Happy Christmas Dad, Love from us all.

My wonderful brother, my best friend from the day you were born.
Always in my heart Bro Love you Forever xx

As parents they were always there for us and have taught us so much. As we grow older and now have Grand children of our own we understand how important the love of family is and appreciate all their love for us, everyone deserves to be always lived and remembered, even they are no longer here in the living world! Xx

Forever the brightest star , forever my Christmas angel.

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.
