  9. Nan was a truly loving and giving woman, whose warmth touched everyone around her. She gave selflessly, always putting family first, and her presence brought comfort and joy.

    We will miss her deeply, not only for her kindness and care, but also for her dry sense of humour and quick wit that never failed to make us smile.

    Her legacy of love and laughter will stay with us always.

    With love,
    Brett, Donna, Lily and Mia
