  5. Nannu Joe,

    It is hard to find the words to truly encapsulate how much you have meant to me from day one.

    From the days I would spend with you as a toddler, pottering around the garden, feeding the fish and working in the shed.

    To the weekends I’d hang out with as a teenager, discussing such light hearted topics as politics, communism and World War 2.

    To the afternoons I would spend “Nannu-sitting” you when Nanna needed to go out and you couldn’t be trusted alone.

    You taught me what it is to work hard, be generous, hold compassion for all living things and age with humour.

    The last time I went to visit, your brain didn’t exactly know who I was, but your heart did. You smiled and laughed when I walked into your room, reached out for my hand, grabbed it and didn’t let go. You told me you love me too.

    Born at only 2lbs with a life expectancy of a few days, your 90 years of life were lived to their fullest. Now it is time for your well deserved rest, together with Nanna Annie.

    Chow chow, chin chin, chop chop
    Nannu Joe 14/10/1931 – 10/4/2022
