Nan made it her life’s mission to ensure her family was happy, safe, and loved. She gave so much of herself to all of us, and I wouldn’t be who or where I am today without her. There’s no one who could ever fill her shoes—and I wouldn’t want them to. She was truly one of a kind.
You were with me from the start, Nan, and I stayed with you until the end. We were a dream team, you and I. I hope you know how much you were loved and how much you’ll be missed.
So rest now, Nan. No more worrying about us. Go pour yourself a whiskey, light a cigarette, and have a cream slice and a cuppa for me. You’ll be with me always. I love you.
