In Memory Nan

A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
Two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
Never a day goes by that you're not in my heart and my soul

My tribute to the best Nan in the world

Nan sadly passed away 10th March 2002 from a long battle of cancer. She was 82.

Nan was such a comical person, she always made me laugh, she had such a good sense of humour. I always remember going on holiday with her to Cyprus, she had me in tears of laughter on many occasions.

Nan was also a very family orientated person. She loved her 3 daughters as well as her grandchildren, we always used to have Sunday lunch with her and have an occasional game of cards after dinner.

Nan's funeral was very difficult. My Mum, along with my 2 aunties had chosen 3 songs to play. 'Dancing Queen' by Abba, 'There You'll Be' by Faith Hill and 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' by Cliff Richard were all played, it was very emotional.

I felt proud to follow the coffin up to the cemetery. Even though it was very difficult, I was proud that she was my Nan and that she was being sent off in this way.

Nan's been gone 5 years now and still I remember her cheeky smile and her infectious laughter. She was very brave and a complete credit to the family.

You're in the arms of the angels now Nan, until we meet again. God bless.Love you forever xxx Gemsy xxx
