Where do I start? My Nan one of the strongest women I knew physically and mentally. There were lots of times she showed us how brave she was like the time my brother accidentally hit her in the cheek with a golf club. Not one flinch or tear. She got through so many battles and struggles but this one was too much for Nan. Even though our beloved Nan has left us we now know Nan is out of pain and in the Arms of Jesus. Rest in peace Nan. I will always love you and miss you XXXX

Nan there are many wonderful words to describe you
Loving, caring, strong and energetic are only a few
You're loving smile and warm embrace
Would make anyone feel safe
With a passion for so many things
Such joy to our lives you did bring
From tending to the garden for all to admire
Knitting baby booties for our children’s attire
To spending time in the kitchen cooking
Making that special bread pudding
We will all have memories close to our heart
But in our lives you will always play a part
Whether picking a flower from the garden
Or cooking a Sunday roast, I know in my heart
You will always be close
I could stand here all day and praise you so high
But now I know it is time to say goodbye
Nan as you leave us please remember these words
You were an amazing women loved by all
A true Mum in a Million and Nan in a Billion

Loved my Nan, she was everything you'd want a Nan to be. Her dinners were the best ever, I am so grateful she lived with us when I was younger. She was allways there when I needed someone, I'll miss her dearly.

I spent some memorable times of my younger life living with Nan, often telling me she would box my ears if I didn't stop being cheeky, but always there to offer a kind word or meat and two veg for dinner. Amazing woman who had a boundless amount of energy for life that will be sorely missed by all that have known her. Rest in Peace Crinks, I know that you will be boxing ears and sorting out Gods garden now !
