My sweet nanny poochie. Words will never do justice to the massive void left in all of our lives. I'm going to miss you more than I could ever explain. Even in the face of challenges you always kept your sense of humour and never backed down. Life is so much emptier without you in it. I hope you, Dad & Percy are having a nice cup of tea up there. Love you forever.
