Christmas wishes up to heaven for a Dad & Grandad so dearly missed

My first Christmas without my
much-loved Mum. Thought of and missed every minute of every day.

WITH LOVE OF FANTASTIC PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS

We all miss you dearly mum, wife and grandma.
You was our, still are the light in the family.
You always put a smile on our faces.
We are remembering that fun times we had with you.
We love you so so much!
We know you are always with us xxxx

I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.

David was a wonderful and much loved husband, father and grandfather. A man who loved his family especially at Christmas so we will raise a glass of malt whisky to him and always remember good times. Love you always xxxx

Daddy,

We miss you so much.
Every day we think of you and smile while our hearts break over and over.
Thank you for everything you were and always will be.

Much love, Lindsey and Barbara xXx

Christmas has been a lot duller since you left us, nobody quite tells the reindeer joke quite like you did!
I miss u every single day, love you Dad xx

Merry Christmas Mum, we miss you everyday but Christmas is not the same without you 💜

My wonderful parents. Gone but never forgotten. Always in my heart. Xx

My Dad Tony was supported by the wonderful team at St Barnabas during his last years of life. Just like the Tree of Life, Dad lit up the room wherever he was and was funny, inspiring and always positive about everything. We miss him dearly xx

A dear friend and employer.
Fond memories of 7 years as your carer.

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.

We miss you so much mum forever in our hearts ❤

In memory of my dearest mum. She was loved by everyone that knew her. She had many friends and no enemies. She was 101 yrs when she died. I miss her so much, love you mum xxx

For my Auntie Bern, who was so selfless to everyone who had the pleasure to know her.

For the lovely Jeannette who lovingly welcomed me Into her family and home.

I hope you both are sharing the gossip with a glass of Prosecco!

Love you lots.
