  2. The best nan in the whole wide world. You loved your family so much and you showed us that from the day we took our first breath until the day you took your last. You’ve endured so much heart ache over the years but you soldiered on for as long as you possibly could. It’s now your time to rest Nan. We take comfort in knowing that you are now reunited with your husband and kids. You will be missed beyond measure. Thank you nan, from the bottom of my heart, I will love you always and forever.
