I will miss your face, I will miss your voice, I will miss our conversations, I will miss hearing you sing Happy Birthday to me, I will miss you xoxo

Such a beautiful lady who made all who crossed her path feel loved and welcome. We will miss your smiling face and scones with jam and cream, good Friday won’t be the same without you dear Gladys RIP ⚘️❤️

The most amazing woman who accepted everyone as family, opened her heart and her home to everyone who met her.
There was one time when I first met granma the great and I thought it would be polite to knock on the front door when I was visiting, however when I was greeted by granma the great at the door she said ‘family does not come to the front door, they come to the back door and let themselves in’ it gave me so much comfort to know she considered me as her family. And how lucky we all are to be apart of her life.
I will miss hearing the stories you would often tell, and I will miss the sweet sweet smell of Anzac biccys being made.
I could not have wished for a better granma the great for Bailey & Levi, who miss you so dearly. However we take comfort in the fact that we did get those special years with you.
We love you and miss you.

Grandma,
there will never be enough words to write how much love and joy you brought to all our lives.
Blood may not have bonded us as family but your love and warm embrace sure made it so.
I will never forget your cheeky and quick witted advice, you always had a way to make us laugh.
I’m so grateful that I now have special memories of you spending time with Daphne and I will share with her what a strong, kind and amazing woman you were and that your attitude to life should be one that we all take with us.
