Tributes

  1. Nanna, I wanted to say just how much I miss you. How much I think about you. How grateful I am to have had you as my mum.
    I wanted to say I am sorry. I’m sorry for not being the person you’d hoped I’d become at the time you left us. I wish you could be here now to see how far I have come and how hard I have tried to be the good person that you raised.

    I got my boys back. I sorted my life out and I’m continuing to better myself to be a women you’d be proud of.

    I love you, forever and always and I will keep it close to my heart that someday in the future, I will see you again. xx

  5. What can I say to the beautiful strong amazing mum that raised me to be a strong, resilient, kind and loving warrior?
    You always think that your parents are just simply invincible and time won’t ever catch up but eventually it does.
    Losing my beautiful mumma has been the most painful and testing time I’ve ever had to endure in this life so far and it creates such a pain in my heart every moment of the day.
    Going on without my mum seems almost impossible but knowing what you would want is going to help me through it.

    I’m so proud of you mum beyond words and although I’m going to miss you and have a huge hole always in my heart, I’m so glad your not hurting anymore and that this horrible fight you had to fight is now over.

    Sleep tight my beautiful mumma and until we meet again I know your always with me.
    Love you to the moon and back always
    Catherine

  11. Don't think of her as gone away, her journey's just begun.
    Life holds so many facets, this earth is but one.
    Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.
    Think of how she must be wishing that you could know today, how nothing but your sadness really go away.
    And think of her as living, in the hearts of those she touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so very much.

    Susan, you were such a beautiful, selfless and inspirational soul who I’ll always be grateful for having the privilege to have known, you will be wholeheartedly missed.
    My heart aches for and goes out to all your family and friends who I know cared deeply about you.

    All my love,

    Shae Shepherd.

  15. I don’t know what to say here but I know I love you and will always love you. Your my nan it hurts knowing your gone now and that I ran out of time to try and be more active with you with calls or even a text. Life’s fleeting and a Beautiful miracle that we should all Cherish no matter how much fighting or hate or anger we have towards some one we all should still love each other and hold on to each other because sooner or later time will run out to say I love you to the ones we love. I love you nanny I truly do and I’m going to miss you too the moon and back.
