my nanna was the greatest,sweetest and most loving person you would ever meet.she lived for her
family and loved every single one of us,she loved to see her great grand children running around but
sadly will not see the birth of her next three great grand children.
She was the loving mother of 12 children and nanna of 22 grandchildren and great nanna to 4 great
grand children.
i loved going up every week to see her, watching her knitting something for one of us.
She lived most of her life in Halifax but was brought up in Southend-on-sea where she met my
granddad.
i know we are all going to really miss her and at the moment it doesn't seem real and i keep hoping
i will wake up from this horrible nightmare so i could go see her tomorrow.
Am only glad she got to see all her grandchildren grow up and share in so many great memories
including getting to see me walk down the aisle.
She told me she wasn't scared of dying as she knew my granddad would be waiting for her.
we love you nanna and am glad your at peace,
reunited with granddad

Well nanna i had logan on the 6th of november,he is the most beautiful little boy and i know you would have loved him to pieces. It really upsets me to know he will never get to meet you or that you will never hold him in your arms. I kept expecting you to walk in the hospital doors coming to see me,i just hope you can see how much we all miss you.love you always and forever xxxxxx

missing you lots

nanna i can't believe time is flying by so quickley but it only feels like yesterday that you were snatched from us. i can't think of a time or place when missing you won't hurt as much as it is now. i feel my heart breaking a little bit more everyday when i think of you, your smell, your smile and your laugh. i long to have another cuddle off you and to say that this world is cruel but you'll always be there for me when it is bad. i miss you so much nanna and you are never out of my head. missing you too much, rest in peace and love you more and more each and every day.
lots of love from
Chrissy x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Not Forgotten

I wanted to pop by today to share with you my prayer, of the thanks I give foe the memories that are placed within my care.

The best nanna in the world.

Now your not here I think about
The memories I treasure
And I dream about the perfect day
When we are back together.
It helps to know that where you are
You're under the same sky
Wishing under the same star
That this time goes quickley by.
I miss you nanna and always will
Until we have our chance to
Reunite in each others arms.
Rest In Peace x x x x x x

You will never be far from my mind, I think of you so often and no matter where I am or go to me you'll alway be with me as I carry part of your DNA..
