Millennium Christmas 1999 when we gathered as a Family at Russell And Sue’s House in Rushden, Northamptonshire and had fun, food, and games, it was a good family get together, full of love, joy and laughter to celebrate ringing the New Year 2000 in.

Always in my thoughts! Miss you everyday and I know you loved Christmas! Shine bright on the tree pops xxx

Brian & I were married on 7th December and had just celebrated a Wedding Anniversary 6 days before he passed away from a terminal illness. I miss my soulmate more than anything in the world & will love him for always. We had such a wonderful marriage making beautiful memories which are mine to treasure. I hope he is looking down on our beautiful grandchildren, we had 2 when he passed away and now we have 6, such blessings to me which keep me strong. Brian was 64 when he passed away 9 years ago on 13th December 2012. Sleep peacefully my darling until we meet again xx

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.
