My grandma, my best friend.
Life will never be the same without you.
Always there for me, listening to me for hours, giving endless advice and encouragement, never judgemental.
A lifetime of memories; trips to Butlins, your Sunday roast, sleepovers staying up too late, laughing over a glass of Baileys, letting me order you hot curries and pretending they weren’t too spicy. The tightest hugs…
A beautiful soul who I will miss daily. Thank you for everything.
Sleep peacefully in heaven, finally back with your Tommy.

I love you always and forever,
Lauren x

Gran, our lives will never be the same again. You were a true force in our family and always there when we needed advice or just someone to talk to. You’ve helped us all so much over the years and it’s been an honour to be your granddaughter. You’re leaving a huge hole and you will be so missed!
Love you lots Becca, Mario, Mia and Lottie xx

Rena- a wonderful mother-in-law and friend.
We all had to share her, but we all had our own individual relationship with her. She made you feel so special.
Heaven has another angel.

I had the privilege and the pleasure of visiting Rena, usually once a month and when Jane was there. Almost to the end she was more concerned with how I was than how she was feeling. She thought the world of many people including my wife, Sharon, who died last year. They will probably be having a high old time together in heaven.
She was a lovely lady and I shall miss her. MY she rest in peace. Aussie

Rena’s passing is like an end of an era for me. I have known Rena for 61 years. She was kind, loving, generous, hospitable and a true friend. She was always concerned about others almost to a fault. She will be greatly missed but we can take comfort knowing that she is now with Tommy and at peace.
Sincere condolences to all the family.
