Miss you Dawny/Mrs Paper

There are lots of Grans', Grannys', Grandmas' and Nans', but there'll only ever be one Mrs Paper!!

Thanks for everything you did for me over the years, always supporting me and I wish you were still here. I'll especially remember you coming to see me play football all over Southampton and ice hockey in Bracknell. It still sucks you're dead!!!

Thank you so much Gran for everything that you have done for me, I will always remember how kind and caring you were and especially your generosity with the all the cakes and the care packages for when i off to uni! I miss our gossip sessions and cups of tea on friday afternoons and meeting up with the sainsbury’s squad on mondays for a coffee break! You are solely missed and I will always think of you when I have a chocolate digestive!
I love you so much Gran,
love from Lis xx

I miss you so much Dawny! Your calming presence and amazing ability to just know what needed saying at the right time! I miss your food, your jokes, your advice, your singing, your songs and your company so so much! I hope you know how loved and how important you were to our family! The warm and kind stoic matriarch! I love you Dawny and I will miss you always. I will take the lessons you taught me forward and hope I make you proud. I know you’re looking out for all of us.

Miss you Dawny x

Mum, you will always be such a big part of our life, from tea breaks and baking to dressmaking and dog-sitting. We want to thank you for the years of care and love you showed us. Your selfless support, generosity and thoughtfulness will always be remembered, not to mention your warm smile and that wicked sense of humour. You are in our thoughts every single day and your love and kindness will live on in everything we do. Mum, we will miss you but can never forget you because you will always live on in our hearts. Sleep tight, love Kate and Paul xxx

Thank you for being our amazing Mum, Dawny and Mrs Paper. Whatever life has thrown at you you've dealt with in your stoic, calm, cheery way protecting us and always putting family first. You've always supported us all with a listening ear, words of wisdom, (even when we may not have wanted to hear them!) big smile and even bigger heart. We've had so many great times together and the memories of tea breaks, doggy bags of home cooked food, bread pudding, stews, holidays, shopping trips and loads of happy days are so special and comforting right now.
Rest easy and 'mind how you go'.

Granny D - thankyou for being just brilliant, I’m so lucky to have had you in my life for such a long time. It’s no surprise you welcomed Soph into the family with open arms, cups of tea and copious amounts of biscuits - we’ll always be thankful and those visits will be missed hugely. Say hello to Grandad for us, I hope you’re cooking roasts and eating trifles together!

In loving memory of aunty Dawn, a bright spark, a loving, generous person who leaves us with happy memories and will be sorely missed.

Mum, you were such a lovely humble person who treated everyone who came into contact with you with the same kindness, love, support and respect that you gave those lucky enough to call you Mum, Mother in Law, Gran and Big Sister. You were always a giver, putting others first and in doing so brightening the lives of all you met with fun, love, support, loyalty, kindness and much more. Thank you so so much for always being there for us.

You will be sadly missed and thank you for everything you have done over the years for Tracy

In loving memory of my aunty who was always happy and smiling and loved cooking for the family who meant everything to her.

Fond memories of a lovely lady. A sense of humour and a really kind heart. Dawn will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Rest in peace .

Enjoy your Country Music on your new journey Dawn

What a lovely photo, just how we will remember you always smiling. How I will miss our chats at family gatherings - and your wonderful cooking!

To a lovely lady who will be greatly missed every day. Thank you so much Mrs D for always making me feel welcome into your home and into your family. For feeding me over all those years, providing me with a packed lunches for hockey road trips (always remembering I don't like radishes) and the many amazing stilton parcels. Thank you for everything. Lots of Love, Tracy x

Rest in peace you will be greatly missed
