In my bungalow there is a space
Where there’s an empty chair
Where my husband Jim used to sit
But he is no longer there.
I miss you Jim.

To treat others as I would wish to be treated.

During my daughter’s life we would often attend events to raise money for St Barnabas not thinking that one day at age 30 she would receive amazing care from the hospice nurses. We miss her everyday but especially at Christmas when we all get together.

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.

Not a day goes by that we don’t think about you, your laugh and your smile. We miss you so much but we know that you are now lighting up the sky with your smile and the stars shine brighter now you’ve joined them – i love you nanny ????

He loved Christmas but truly believed the Christmas Fairy did everything from writing Christmas cards to wrapping presents.

Remembering our Andy on our first Christmas without him.He loved this time of year so much,and will be the brightest star shining in the sky.We all miss and love you so much xxx

Two very special people, who we sadly lost last year. St barnabas showed great care for both of them and to both families. You are both so very much missed and the advice you gave. Always in our thoughts and memories. We love you loads xxxxxxx

In fond memory of a lovely wife, mother and nanny. Forever in our thoughts and never forgotten. Miss you. Tony xxx

My mum spent her last moments in st barnabas and I am so grateful for the care they provided her and were able to give us those last special moments with her. All staff were amazing. I have no words that would forever show how incredible the place is!

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

Dearest Dad, another year has passed and you are still very much loved and missed by all the family. We think of you every day and remember the happy times x

Lots of Love from : Your loving Wife Rita, Daughter Jane, Son Chris Granddaughters Jessica, Eleanor, Poppy and John, Holly and Mal xxx. Not forgetting love from Lyrah and Henry ????????

Mum,
You will forever be in my thoughts, especially at Christmas time, which you loved.
Love and miss you always ????

December is a time that brings back memories of family Christmases when we were young with Mum and Dad making it all so special. Now as an adult with my own kids, we miss having them over to us to celebrate. There is too much space around the dinner table without them.
