The obituary notice of Barbara FLINTHAM

Two years today l said my last earthly goodbye to you dushi.

Today is also the day goodbyes are said to your dad, Eric. Same day, same place, marking another very sad occasion for the family

Although you are both gone, neither of you will ever be forgotten. You both remain in our hearts forever.

Until we meet again in heaven dushi

They say friends are the family we choose, and choosing you Barbara was the greatest gift of my life.

It’s been 736 days since we last spoke, yet I still feel your presence in the quiet moments—in a gentle breeze or the way the sun hits the trees.

Two years hasn't made the loss smaller, but it has made the gratitude for our time together deeper.

To the person who knew my secrets and loved me anyway: you are never truly gone as long as I carry your spirit with me.

Resting in peace, but always in my heart.

As we remember Jesus Christ’s birthday at this time of year, Barbara, you have the honour of constantly being in your Saviour’s presence.

We all miss you every day sweet Barbara but especially in the festive season.

Think of you every day Dushi.

Love you always & forever

Dear sweet Barbara

Today the candles glow in thought, not flame,
Your birthday comes, the world still says your name.
Barbara—kind in ways that asked no praise,
Loyal through storms, steady through brighter days.
Your laughter lives where silence tries to stay,
A sudden smile that still finds me halfway.
You knew my heart, my fears, my truth, my mess—
And loved me whole, without a second guess.
I miss the sound of you, the easy way
You made the heavy parts feel less like weight.
Best friends don’t leave, they simply change their place,
From side by side to living in our face.
So today I celebrate the love we grew,
The jokes, the tears, the years that made us us.
Happy Birthday, Barb—forever my friend,
Our story doesn’t stop; it only bends.

Love you always & forever xxxxx
