Sunflower Memories

Celebrate the life of a loved one with a sunflower

Sunflower Memories is a special, meaningful way to celebrate the life of a loved one, whilst ensuring local people and their families receive loving hospice care when they need it most.

Throughout August we display beautiful sunflower markers around the water feature at the front of the hospice. Each sunflower bears the name of a loved one for whom a dedication has been made.

Jo's story

Jo was a teacher and a life-long learner – a friend to many, who was always first on the dance floor.

She lived with breast cancer for 16 years but was able to enjoy many more adventures with her family. That, and her creativity – including writing journals and poems – helped Jo process her illness.

When she came to the end of her life, St Barnabas House was there to care for her and help the family say their goodbyes.

Jo’s sons, Jack and James, share her story for Sunflower Memories.
