In memory of my wonderful big brother Derrick Cole, who sadly passed away on 3rd June 2026 at St Barnabas Hospice. Following a tragic diagnosis, Derrick's condition deteriorated very quickly, and his passing came far sooner than any of us could have imagined. During this incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time, the compassion, dignity, and support he received from the staff at St Barnabas Hospice was truly exceptional. Their kindness brought comfort not only to Derrick but also to his family and friends, and for that we will always be grateful.

We respect many of you would like to honour Derrick with flowers at his funeral but instead we would greatly appreciate donations to the hospice. Your kindness will help ensure others receive the same exceptional care and comfort when they need it the most.

Thank you for your support and for helping us honour Derrick's memory.
