Nan, my dear Nan.
Knowing that I won’t be able to stop in with a coffee (yes with skinny milk and yes extra hot), sit and chat to you about the Block or Farmer Wants a Wife (even though I don’t watch it) or Married at First Site so we can judge everyone, hurts so much and I miss you so much already.
Thank you for all the things you did for me, all the things you taught me and thank you for always being there. You were always just a call away. I will cherish all my memories of you forever and I will think about you everyday.
You are the best, truly one of a kind, the best friend anyone could of asked for. Life is going to suck without you but I am just so grateful that you were my nan. Goodbye Nan, I love you so much, rest in peace, gone but you will never be forgotten.
Love you forever and ever,
Katherine xoxoAugust 26, 2024 10:46 pm
Veronica,
Absolutely shattered that you’re gone. Talking about you over the last few days has left me with a few words that describe you perfectly: an absolute legend. I never thought I would get along so well with my partner's grandmother, but you proved me wrong in the best way. You taught me so much and were always so kind to me. Thank you for that. Rest easy. :)

To Veronica’s family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Veronica, she was a very caring person and always thinking of others.
We had great laughs and conversations.
I was fortunate to offer care and support to Veronica through La Bella Services.
Thinking of you all, particularly Jenny who I knew.
May your beautiful mum Rest In Peace.💐🙏August 26, 2024 3:21 pm
Mrs Mack, You never expected anything but you were grateful for whatever you received. You said little but when you did, you were heard and respected. You were kind and generous and mindful of others. I will miss you and our candid chats which usually ended in both of smiling. Your smile was infectious. RIP
