Dearest Auntie Nora, I will always remember your warmth, your beautiful smile and your loving heart. From childhood memories of staying over, getting into mischief with Allena and adventures with Sean - you were always welcoming with the best tea, warm toast and a chat. I loved seeing you last year, your smile and sparkle still so bright at 80.

You have left a wonderful legacy and your light shines on in Sean, Allena and all your grandchildren.

With love, Ann Marie, Eve and Finn

I am so sorry to hear of Auntie Nora's passing. Such a happy lady, always a joy to see. The best tea and toast in all the land, also in abundant supply. Many happy days were spent in Nora's house. I feel she and I got up to a lot of mischief. Nora always had some fun job or project for me to do. For some reason braking up plastic roofing outside the kitchen has always stuck in my head. Nora and I had a blast doing it. I will never forget that smile.
We are thinking of you all. James, Jennifer, Rose and Jack xxx
