rest well beautiful Nan

our merciful lord called our beautiful nan home at 1130am this morning.

god planned it so beautifully, nan even waited for uncle ken to land from germany and get to the hospital and spend an hour with nan, we all believe nan was waiting for uncle ken so we could all be together.

i also had time to tell nan that last night, deqlan looked at some photos of his big nana and spontanesouly said " i love you big nana" that was amazing to hear

we are doing ok and holding each other up and letting god hold us to.

plse continue to pray for my grandpa and mom and uncle ken as they are all heartsore at the loss of our beloved wife ,mom, nan, big nan

nan, we know you waltzed into heaven this morning, we know you are happy to be with you lord that you loved so much and mother mary who was so important to you to. we know you are free from illness and suffering and pain and worry, and you are now perfect in everyway

there are not enough words to explain the immense love we have for you and always will

the beautiful memories we made together, the laughs we shared, the challenges you got through which only made you stronger. nan our iron lady right up to when jesus called your name today.

we are going to miss you everyday. we are going to have tears for a long while to come as our hearts try to mend, but we are also going to celebrate that amazing lady you were, such a loyal servant to our lord, such a loving , giving, caring saint on earth.

im already missing you so very much nan

knowing im not going to hear your voice or see you laugh or song , or watch grandpa kissing you again, is very hard to try and process and we just ask god to help us take one day at a time as we try and settle into our new family dynamic, without you precious nan

i hope you knew you were loved and adored and treasure, i wish i told you more, i wish we took you for tea and cake more often, and come to sing songs with you

i have learnt so much from you nan and id like to think i have lots of you in me, my birthday girl. i see you in my mom, and in khloe to. i will always remember your incredible fighting spirit in so many different challenges that you were faced with

ill always be grateful to god for giving us so much time together, for so many laughs and good times and precious moments, i will treasure them always . the trip to the movies, esp watching never ending story which we both loved. the sleepovers that never ended , you always let us stay longer cause we didnt want to leave. the songs and music that followed you wherever u were . that implanted such a love of music in us all. its lovely to see that all of us know the songs you loved so much and have always and will always remind us of you " close to you" " five pennies" all the greats, sinatra, dean martin, shirley bassey. your love of sweet things, man you enjoyed your chocies and halls sweets and chocolate eclairs. nan , it was a delight to watch you interacting with your great grand children and how you laughed and smiled around them. we thought we had the coolest gran in the world when we saw you get into your drums or go riding on your bicycle . it was so touching to see the love you and grandpa shared for so many , many years and how you two would often look like teenagers, still so in love, your teddy bear .

i promise nan we will look after grandpa and help him through missing you. i promise we will be there for your bevy and your kensy boy to. we promise to tell our children about their feisty, loving, clever big nana.i promise we are going to celebrate your life and the sunshine you brought into our lives

our song has different meaning today nan " everytime you go away, you take a piece of me with you"

always in my heart and mind and soul

rest well nan, you have deserved it, go and enjoy that poker game with your mom and dad and brothers and aunty gloria and aunty shirl

heaven gained a saint and an angel today, we know you will always be watching over us nan, thank you for taking our prayers and that "special envelope" straight to jesus for us

thank you for giving me the gift of my amazing mom

god bless you and give you rest my darling nan, i am so proud to be your grand daughter and have your name in mine

all our love, trying to smile for you " even though are hearts are aching"
