I'm still struggling to process that you're no longer here with us Nana. Thank you for being the most wonderful nana I could ever ask for. Thank you for showing me how to be kind and caring towards anyone and everyone, how to be a strong woman as well as to enjoy life's simple pleasures. I can only hope to be half the woman you were. It breaks my heart that I couldn't be there with you to hold your hand as you went to sleep. I will forever and always cherish the memories we had together. Now you get to spend some time with Grandad and Uncle Bruce. Love you always & I'll see you again one day.
Forever in my heart
