  9. To my Nanna,

    I miss you and will always miss you. There will not be a day where I do not think of you. Even now you are not physically here with me I will still love you. Every day a new memory of you comes to me. Some of these are the time when you took me to get my nails done and all those times we went shopping. I really enjoyed the shopping for Dad's furniture. You bought me a new painting set. All my memories of you are so special. I will miss you Nanna. You are the best Nanna in the world. RIP Nanna. Lady bug, lady bug, lady bug Lou. Lady bug Lou, Lou, Lou. Hopping along, singing that song. Love from Maya
