Love Jane xxx

Sarah,

I know christmas was your favourite time of year. It doesn’t get any easier without you here, we miss you so much. I wish you were still here with us but I’m glad you’re no longer in pain. Keep shining bright.

Love you always,
Shannon

In memory of my dad glyn who shines bright in our life and still is rembered always for all that he did for us and role modelled for us.

To the most amazing mum who had such a fight in those last few weeks and we couldn’t have done it without the help of St Barnabas home team and many more. Miss you so much xxx

The hospice at home team were amazing at supporting my father in law in his last weeks, and allowed the family to spend that time together at his home. His grandchildren would like his light to shine on the tree of life this Christmas, as he was such a big part of all family festivities and was the ‘real’ Santa to all who knew him.

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

There is 2 big holes in my heart every day but even more so when I start the preparations and traditions from my childhood for Christmas although there are always a few tears there is always great smiles and memories that no one can ever take away xxx

We always love you and will forever miss you Mum. We always look up to the stars for you. One day we will be together again xxx

To my Darling Hubby
Wishing you a Heavenly Christmas.
My first Christmas without you by my side.
A year that my heart is full of pride to be called your wife.
For all the memories I will treasure.
Always in my thoughts, forever in my heart.
I love you and Miss you so much.
Your Wifey Jeanie xxx

Never far from our thoughts .

We will be thinking of you as always this Christmas. It is the first Christmas that our family is back together in your old house, so it will bring back so many happy memories. You will both be missed, especially Grandad’s jokes and Grandma’s mince pies and trifle!

Lots of love,

Hannah, Lucy, Ian and Ruth xxx

Jeannettes poem,

When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.

Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.

Nan was a wonderful lady who always enjoyed herself. Miss you lots Nan, wish you was here to see the girls growing, you would be so proud! Love you lots xx

Best friend sadly missed x

Always remembered

Thanks for our wonderful life.

My husband was the loveliest man, a caring dad taken 3 years ago. We loved him so much & miss him terribly.
St Barnabas hospice (Nettleham Road) looked after him in his last days. X

My mum volunteered at St Barnabas and was a nurse for 45 years. She sadly lost her battle with Motor Neurone Disease, this September, after only a few months since diagnosis. She is now at peace and back with her parents, my grandparents xx

Your forever in my heart.

Remembering our lovely Lizzie . Missed and loved by us all every day.
