Tributes

1. Oh Nanna, how I miss you so much, you were such a caring great grandmother to me and I’m truly grateful that I got to grow up and have you in my life. I feel so lucky to have known you. Thank you for absolutely everything you’ve done for our family. I’ll always keep the memories we made so close to me, especially those times where you would tell me off when nan and I forgot to get your Pegs when we went to do your shopping or even yelling at me when I wasn’t helping nan make dads bed. But again I knew you still loved me and you were just being your cheeky self. I hope you are having fun up there in heaven with pa Jack and pa Alan and also uncle Malcolm as we all knew it was your time, which is okay for us, we knew how much you wanted to be with pa Jack. But remember we will reunite soon and I’m sure we will all have a blast together. Can you please save me a seat next to you, pa Jack and pa Alan for me? Because you guys will be the first people I will run to. I love you so much B and thank you for being the most precious lady ever. Fly high and spread those amazing wings of yours. I love you so much- your first great granddaughter Michayla x

3. The smile on your face when you held our daughter, your first great grandchild, I will cherish forever. Nanna B, a name you had chosen and I proudly have called you for the last 20 years. I’ll remember your talks about the younger years explaining how things were done. I’ll never forget the dinners on a Friday night with yourself and big Jack at the bowls club, then of coarse theres your perfect knitted jumpers that I promise to keep and get use out of for generations to come. Thank you for being a half way point, always welcoming me and remaining strong enough to put anyone who crossed you sideways in their place. Rest in Peace now ~ reunited. Love always x Jo.
