You got your colourful, beautiful send off nanny just as you deserve. Today has been such a hard day! Would have been easier if you were there next to me, holding my hand, all i want to do nanny is lie next to your bed not being able to sleep because of the oxygen machine but them nights were our nights! Even better when we could wake up in the morning to watch jezza kyle with our hash browns and salsa dip and have naps through out the day, nanny i love you! I really do love you! And i bloody miss you nanny! Please just come back and tell me to piss off? I know your at peace now nanny and i can live with that...i just cant deal with never seeing you again or hearing your voice and just sitting with you while you sleep!! Ill see you again nanny if not in my dreams then when im old and wrinkley and hopefully looking just as beautiful as you ♡ night nanny, i love you so much xxxx

In my Rose Garden of memories
I see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught me how to care

I long to hear your voice
for real not in my dreams
I'm missing you so much these days
How empty my world seems

People say time heals all wounds
That someday the pain will subside
But Nana I can tell you
I think they must have lied

The emptiness I am feeling now
is strong and I am weak
These days go by without you
so dreary and so bleak

In my Rose Garden of memories
I know you’ll always be free
for though you’re gone
From this mortal world
In my heart you’ll always be.

Goodnight, Nan. I love you. X

Before We Say Goodbye
Before we say goodbye, i'd just like to say
that you always made me smile, in you own little way
you had this thing you knew how; to make us all feel safe
and talked about reality, your wisdom we all craved
before we say goodbye, i'd just like to think
upon all the memories, and all that makes us linked
you never had a bad word, to say against anyone
in fact about anything, your love was next to none
before we say goodbye, i'd like to send a wish
that wherever you are now, you know how much your missed
it's been a long road for you, and none of us will know it
and you stuck around and had a fight, until no longer fit
before we say goodbye Nan, you really need to hear
all the wonderful things that are happening for us down hear
so after we wave you off, and shed our tears all said and done
i promise
we will tell you all about them, all of us, Everyone

When we were having our first movie night and you told me to go shopping and buy loads of goodies then when i got back i moved the room all around ready...."aimee we need a cuppa tea after all that hard work" nanny you are one in a million i have so many memories of our amazing times xxxxxV

I only met you towards the 'end', but you made me so welcome and was so lovely about Ginny and I being together. You reminded me of my own dear Mum, in several ways, especially your sense of humour. I only saw you twice, but you made a really big impression on me. I never knew my own Grandmothers, but I'm so glad I got to know you. Thank you. God bless and be at peace.

I remember when me and aimee came round to see you when you were well and you would get us Irn bru and Mr Kiplings, Your now out of our lives but NEVER out of our hearts. Your teddy is with me at night and snuggles with Zebra 24/7 Love you Nanny x

I remember when I went through my first time of the month, and instead of taking me to school upset, you took me home and I spent the day with you. :) I love you and will miss you, you wonderful woman. xxxx

Remember to come visit me every now and then, im lost with out you! But i know your not in pain anymore and your with grandad and i know he will take good care of you ♡ good night nanny, ill see you again ♡

I love you mum i expect you and dad have alot of catching up to do, its a lovely thought you are both together again. Night night mum xx

Words can't describe how much of a impact and a huge effect you had on my life nan, the bond you had with me and the rest of your grandchildren was something special that no one can ever touch, now you are at peace and back with grandad, all I can say is goodnight and thank you for the memories, there is never a goodbye in these situations because some day we will meet again :) thank you for the memories nan and your spirit shall forever live in all our hearts ❤

Nanny, you continuously asked me to tip your water down the sink in hospital, silly me kept doing this for you, untill one day i found out it was potassium and you needed to drink it to get yourself better! No more pouring it down the sink for nanny, So after listening to you go on about how bad it was i took it off you, told you it couldnt be that bad and drank abit! Oh my god....i was nearly sick! It was awful...from that day on i didnt keep going on at you to drink it and we carried on laughing about it months later!! We have had so many laughs together, shared so many tears together when you first got diagnoised but we got through it, we talked about everything and even when you were feeling so down and drained you still managed to have a smile on that beautiful face of yours!!! I could write all my memories i have but then i would have to write up untill the day we have to say good night to you! We both no all the good times we shared! I love you so much but its time for you to piss off now my beautiful angle xxxxxxxxxxxx

Goodnight, sleep tight, till I see you again. I love you with all my heart X
