Karen Chambers – There are no words that can describe the past few months as we make sense and come to terms with the loss of a most beautiful and brave lady at the age of 47 years. We miss you so much, and our lives will never be the same again. We will always love you and you will be forever in our thoughts and hearts.

Wonderful parents, both cared for by St Barnabas at home
Gone but never forgotten

Loved and missed very much every day by us all.xx

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.

Dr. Shah was a light among us! I have such nice memories of her when she would come to the US to visit her daughter, my bestie, Bhaval. She had such a close, loving bond with her grandchildren. And she was always perfectly put-together, even just to do the school pick-up. She will be deeply missed by all.

Thinking of you Rod, Love you forever mate

Love Josh

To a wonderful Mum/Grom,

We all miss you, as you told us we would.

Christmas is a really difficult time of year for me. It really is a time for family and with you both gone, it is just not the same.
I love and miss you both so much.

Christmas isn't the same without you Nan. Luckily we have some amazing memories from our Christmases together over the years which I will treasure forever. Will raise a snowball to you. Miss you as always. Love from All of Us xx

Forever in the thoughts of all the family

My father who art in heaven..
A prayer couldnt save you from what came,
Although now I whisper your name,
Every day and every night
It's a hug I need, and to hold you tight.
On Christmas day, I will set your place, and pour your drink, play your games, then shut my eyes to see your face.
Merry Xmas dad, your presence will always be felt. X

In memory of mum and dad at Christmas.
