Wishing the special people I have dedicated a Light up a Life to a heavenly Christmas. You will always be remembered and never forgotten.

Gran,

This is the first Christmas without you. Will always love you and miss you everyday. When anything happens, you’re the first person I want to call and for a brief second, I forget I can’t.
I sponsored this light as it helps to keep you shining. You’ll be shining outside the Cathedral. Remember when you came up for my graduation and we pushed you over the cobbles. I will always remember your laugh that day.
Love you forever

This light is dedicated in memory of Andrea Armstrong, a loving mum & nanny.

Mum, not a day goes by when I don't think about you. Your forever in my heart & thoughts. I wish you could have been here this year to see me finish uni, I know you will be so proud & beaming with pride up there. I have thought about you so much lately & how life should be right now with you here with us all. Your missed more than you will ever know. Love you always from Steph x

To our nanny in heaven, although we didn't get to meet you, we know who you are & all about you. We know you would have been the best nanny in the world to us, lots of love Summer, Chelsea, Mikey & Alfie x

A Christmas light for you were the light of my life, the centre of my universe. Miss you so much.

Miss you mate.

Remembering you With much love Mark, my wonderful brother

Missing you each and everyday.

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.

Spending quality time during the Christmas period. Laughing and smiling.
Always thought about and loved dearly xx

Mum passed away 2 years ago and would've been 80 this November. She loved a party and getting dressed up, the sparklier the better!
We'll be raising a glass or two to you on your birthday and at Christmas.
Love and miss you so much xxxx

So dearly loved and deeply missed. First Christmas in 43 years without you. Love you always xxxx

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

Happy Christmas

We had the privilege of being with our baby Emma for just one day yet ever since keeping her lovingly within our hearts.

Steve died on 26th April 2023 at St Barnabus Hospice in Grantham after being diagnosed with cancer 5 months previously. Steve is dearly missed by me and his children and grandchildren.

Steve will be on our minds and forever in our hearts.

Love and Hugs at Christmas xx

This was my husband’s most favourite time of the year. He loved all things shiny and glittery and would decorate the house with as much as he could get away with. This is our first year without him. ????

This Christmas is the first without my beloved Grandma, Sylvia. My Grandma loved Christmas and I cherish lots of memories around the Christmas period that I had with her.
Shine bright Gma and I hope you’re pulling all the crackers up there. I love you.

Always loved, always remembered.

Missing you both so much, wish you was here still. You are both together again. Love you so much xxxxx

Happy heavenly Christmas
Love always
