My lovely Nanna, Reading your eulogy makes me proud of how fiercely independent you were. It’s amazing to reflect on your life as a mother now I’m about to become a mother myself, our family is full of strong women, I started in your womb and we’ll always have that connection. I will think of your strength and resilience when I’m giving birth. Not only were you strong, but you also had a soft side and the softest skin, something that is easily remembered as your grandchild from all the hugs you supplied us with. I’ll never forget your laugh; loudest when I collected what I thought was a selection of bulbs from your garden, and whilst sat in the car ready to head home, we realised I had a handful of cat poos instead. I’ll think of us as we’ve spent many nights together; tucked up in your bed with the electric blanket on, doing the crossword. Thank you for all the love you showered on me, it’ll never be forgotten. Love, Liane xoxoxo
