The hospice at home team were amazing at supporting my father in law in his last weeks, and allowed the family to spend that time together at his home. His grandchildren would like his light to shine on the tree of life this Christmas, as he was such a big part of all family festivities and was the ‘real’ Santa to all who knew him.

This is my 2nd Christmas without my beloved husband, my best friend, my soulmate, I miss you so much but carry you in heart till we meet again. xx

In memory of our Dad, Jake. Christmas isn’t the same without you falling asleep with a glass of red in your hand after your dinner. Loved and missed every day from Darren, Tracy and family xx

Miss you every day – there is not a day goes by and I don’t think about you both. Love you xxx

This is a sad and happy time of year for me; as I remember your passing in Oct 2014, but also a happy time in December as it was also your birthday and we started our celebration of Christmas by attending the Carole service in the Cathedral and then celebrated Christmas with all the family.

For Gavin, still loved & not forgotten x

Always in our thoughts and missed by us all, for ever in our heart's
your loving sister Jacqui ????

Never far from our thoughts .

We always put the baubles on the tree for you mum. Each year you took us to see the lights in town and every year you made a huge Christmas cake. We always brought gifts for the dogs and always had the most beautiful food.

How i would love to have had more christmas's with you

Another Christmas without you both, it doesn’t get any easier, I wish that we could all be together again one last time. Miss you xx

Always on my mind xxx

Dad, we all miss you as much, and more, today as the day you left us. Life just isn’t the same without you in it. Love you so much xxxxx

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

My beloved parents,
who made me who I am and who loved unconditionally,
Never forgotten❤️

To My amazing Dad who sadly will not be with us this Christmas . You will always be remembered ❤️ we are so lucky to have so many fond memories to cherish.
You were my rock and the foundation of The Barkle family . Love you for ever Caroline , Simon, Hayley, Carla, Harry, Ben, Elliot and not forgetting your little fusser Ivy who we know meant the world to you xxx

Emma is our daughter, born 14 June 1988, who stayed with us for just one day. We have taken part in the Light a Light procession every year since, this is her part of Christmas.

Tilly is our first grandchild, born March 2020, whom we have not been able to meet and cuddle yet due to the COVID Pandemic and travel restrictions across the World. Instead of being able to show her the Christmas Tree in person, to have her own light shining on it is the next best thing.

Dear Robert
You were taken from us so unexpectedly and we miss you dreadfully. Christmas will be very difficult without you darling xxxx
