Joan Paul (née Gulliver) (12 May 1933 - 1 Jun 2026)

Oh man, Nana Joanie... I don't even know where to start.

Thank you for accepting me and my Isobel into the family when me and Kieran had first got together, and loving us as if we were already one of your own.

When I had first started to come and see you, you would always want me to have a corn beef slice from Edinburgh bakery or a cuppa with a Kit Kat and you always went off it and use to shake your head when I would say I was good thank you to the point I just said yes so I didn't get wrong🙈
I even use to get wrong when I offered to make you a cup of tea and you would go no Megan, I'm capable of doing it myself🙈
There are so many memories I have from you from over the years but it would always be one of my favourite ones but another favourite one would be when you use to tell me I was the best thing that happened to Kieran and you knew we would be happy together, and then you would tell me stories about you and Roger.

Our Freya absolutely adores you Nana Joanie and we will always talk about you too her. Please be the brightest star in the sky for her on a night so we can say goodnight to you before she goes to bed😢💗

So did our Isobel.

Thank you for letting me be by your side for the last part of your journey. I will always forever grateful. Especially knowing a wonderful lady like you.

Your coming home tomorrow mam I can’t believe we will never have you in our family home again and neither will our family heartbroken 💔 a house is just bricks and mortar but you and dad made it a loving home and that will stay in our hearts and minds forever. Until we meet again take care of dad I know you will. From your heartbroken son mark 😭😢

Hi my joanie woke this morning blue sky sun shining thinking of you , I’m really going to miss the special times we had together. Wish I could just talk to you and hear your voice and laugh like we did, you hold a special place in my heart and won’t forget the special memories we made im going to miss you so much up our broken hearted daughter in law bev 🥰xx
