Christmas was something we looked forward to as a family and it brought us all together from Yorkshire, the North East and overseas. Sadly, with the passing of so many it has now become a solo event, with time for reflection of those wonderful times.

Our first Christmas without you mum, my heart is broken, miss you so mum. ♥️ xx

Merry Christmas Dad I’m sure you will be singing entertaining and sharing your favourite tipple with your heavenly family xx love you and thank you for the amazing man you were ‘Dad’ xx

Both lost to cancer and missed every day, but especially at Christmas

A wonderful brother, uncle and brother in law. A true friend to many. Greatly missed by all who knew him. Always in our hearts and never forgotten.

Thank you to the fabulous hospice team for their care and support in my dad’s final weeks. Christmas is about love and you all show so much of the true meaning of Christmas.

With love always Sally xx

Someone who brought light, love and laughter to everyone x

We lost dad in September whilst he was on holiday with my mum in Crete. We lost him so suddenly and far too soon. A kind, gentle and hard working man and the best dad you could ask for. We all miss you so much. We’re all looking after mum, don’t worry. We hope we continue to make you proud.
Miss you and love you forever
Vanetia (mum), Kylie, Holly, Jade, Beth, Keswick and all the grandchildren xxxxx

My Dad spent his last days in the hospice and I will always remember the kindness of the staff towards not only my Dad but the whole family xx

Much loved & missed

Remembering you at Christmas time dad, love and miss you, Linda, Steve and Anna xxx

Chris Burdass, always loved & never forgotten, our lives aren't the same without you. We send you love, hugs and kisses everyday xxxxx

My Dad is my hero and my best friend and I miss him so much, especially a round this time of year as he died at the end of November – so Christmas is not the same without you xx

My mum passed away from cancer in spring this year aged 70 years old. I miss her dearly and am still rather shocked she is not going to be here this Christmas. She was a fantastic dancer and used to be a go go dancer back in the 70s. As she got into her 60s she started doing ballroom dances and going to dances every weekend. She loved dressing up in fancy outfits (usually a charity shop bargain). My children will miss their little nanny this Christmas. And I will miss my mum. My son (age 3) thinks she's gone to the moon. ???? From there she can watch over us.

You’re still the absolute light of our life and we’ll enjoy our Christmas with you firmly in our heart.
We love you son with all of our heart.

Sleep well and dream big x

Let your spirit be free. Love Jane x

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD
WERE EVER YOU MAY BE AS I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY LOTS OF LOVE FROM JANE XXXXX

Missing you both at Christmas and always xxx

All beautiful and much loved and missed members of our family. Emma, George, Dad, Mum and Brian shine brightly this Christmas and always xxx

Mums favourite time of the year was Christmas, mainly because she loved to gather her family around her. She was a strong supporter of St Barnabas and always dedicated a light on the tree of life.
We were very grateful for their care of mum in her final weeks, and love to support St Barnabas each Christmas in mum’s memory.
