You were always there with your amazing smile, youthful laughter, superb and natural humour and SO much unselfish love and care, a huge influence in my early years and beyond. Now you're not here and this feels weird. Our grandmother was unique and inspirational. She was AWESOME. I can't think of a better or more apt word to describe her, how she lived her life and what she meant to us. She loved me, my sisters and my cousins unconditionally. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her absolute world and she was a big part of ours, always will be. To me, she was bigger than a grandmother in the conventional sense and I know there'll be a nod in agreement to this statement. You'll never be forgotten by us and for what were and meant to us all in our own special way and through our own personal experiences with you - and for the massively positive impact you had on our lives. You knew it, so did we. We've been fortunate in that respect. I really look forward to all the family getting together and celebrating your life and our time with you, which is exactly what you wanted. We'll do you proud when that day comes:) It will take time to get used to the fact that you're not with us in person anymore. It feels surreal, even though you and we knew what was going to happen eventually. We were so very lucky as grandchildren to have had you as our grandmother, confidante, supporter and unfailing friend. The most amazing matriarch for us all as a family, not to mention a colossal source of love, comfort and fun. You were very, very special to us. You'll always be with us in our hearts and thoughts, without question. Your memory will be kept alive, as it should be, and you were always 'home' to me wherever I was. I love you Nan X
