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

Always in our heart Son.

My Nan was a fighter but lost her battle with Covid 19 this year. She now joins her daughter, son and my grandfather in peace.

Shining a light at Christmas to celebrate the beautiful history of our lovely Mum whose light faded and died in July 2020. Learning to face a future without her. Remembering precious times together. Still loved and deeply missed.

Miss you every day Grandma ❤

My husband and my hero, never forgotten. All my love always and forever xXx

Merry Christmas Skali I hope you’ll be drinking wine and dancing.
Always thinking of you and miss you loads.
Love little Em xxx

Grandad,
You are so very missed.
Our lives are not the same.
We will forever cherish memories of you.
Until we meet again.
All our love forever.

My mum passed away from cancer in spring this year aged 70 years old. I miss her dearly and am still rather shocked she is not going to be here this Christmas. She was a fantastic dancer and used to be a go go dancer back in the 70s. As she got into her 60s she started doing ballroom dances and going to dances every weekend. She loved dressing up in fancy outfits (usually a charity shop bargain). My children will miss their little nanny this Christmas. And I will miss my mum. My son (age 3) thinks she's gone to the moon. ???? From there she can watch over us.

My dad was the most kindest amazing man anyone could ever know, I have so many beautiful memories of him and miss him terribly, he is always in my thoughts and I will forever love him, happy Christmas daddy love always Sharon xx

Gary is a much loved uncle / brother / son / and father missed by many people . He had a heart of gold and loved his family and friends very much . He was also a huge animal lover .

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.

Our Warrior… you will be missed nearly as much as you are loved!
We will never forget you, you will live on through all of us! Xxx

It'll be 10 years since you both died, soon. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like another lifetime ago.
You are both loved and missed always, especially at Christmas time.

Every day is hard and you are remembered all the time. This year is even harder knowing what your missing out on your would have loved your granddaughter so much. You was the best dad!

Remembering all the Christmas's we had with you.

Two very important people who are sadly missed and fondly remembered, both taken too soon.
Especially at Christmas we remember you and wish deeply for one last conversation.

We loved our Christmas holidays together and I miss him so much, not just at Christmas but every day of the year.
