For those that couldn't make the funeral here are some words said by me to say goodbye to Nan

The day you passed it rained

Today the sun shines as we let you go

But first we would like to share some memories

Nan was a breath of fresh air to all of us. 

She had a heart of gold and was kind 
She was probably one of the most independant strong people we all knew. 
And no matter what she had a fabulous sense of humour
Even to the very last day she would not let go until she knew everyone was going to be ok and that she had said goodbye. 
She even managed to tell me the last time I saw her that my hair looked rubbish. And that my top was to low cut. So cheeky she was! 
She is just such a big part of this life we know and this world is going to be lost without this women in it! 
Let's face it were lost in this world now anyway and Nan got out before it came crashing down. Very wise our nan. And also I remember her saying thay she didn't want a fuss... Probably another reason why she picked now!!! 
Well Nan were not letting you off that easy. A party is yet to come!
The memories of Nan will be with us forever. We will never let go of these. We all have loads.
She loved a drink. A party. Trips out. Looking after the kids. Her children more than anything. Playing games. A Brady. A baileys. A wine. Even a beer. And a bit of cake or 2. 
She just loved. Selflessly. 
She also worried. Lots. And that's because she cared so much. We all blame nan for our overthinking right!
My first ever memory of Nan was at my mums when she was babysitting us. This was in Holly Road. She would play with us. She was so much fun but she did stick to the rules and didn't let us play up. 
My favourite memory of nan. Well there are so many. But one in particular was when Rob and I went to London and we stuck her on the back of a tutut. She was terrified and her hair got all messed up. She was not best pleased. But still laughed. She was 91 at this point. 
My last memory of nan I couldn't have asked for any more. Yes she was in bed and she couldn't really talk to anyone. This was strange to me. But She was peaceful. I signed the word I love you and she signed them right back and then blew me a kiss. . Even in her last moments she still loved everyone so so much. 
So here are a few words to tell you Nan how much we loved you..... 

Nan you are kind. Nan you are fresh 
Always hated it when your hair was a mess 
You are a joy loving caring and fun 
And to me you were my second mum 
You looked after me when I was down. 
Always told me off when I would frown 

Always challenged everything I would say 
Always loved in every single way. 
We went out for dinner all the time 
You would never let us pay. I had to just say fine
You really did have a heart of gold 
One of the most beautiful people in this world 

Miss independent. Never accepting any help 
It had to be on your terms. That's just the way you felt. 
You had lots of friends. Outtings were a few 
Even on New years eve, in alma house you would be up until 2
Always the last one standing. Chatting away 
Putting the world to rights in every single way

A dear friend. Nan and wonderful Mum 
Lots of memories and you were lots of fun
When leaving a party it would be while having a good time 
You Didn't want to crash and burn with to many wines 
The same happened the day you decided to go
Your choice. Your time. That, we do know. 
What will we do without you by our side 
We will try and be strong because you will tell us off if we cried. 
It will be hard without you every single day 
But Nan we know you would say 
"be strong for me because I did it my way"
