  17. Nan, thank you for always being there no matter the hour whenever we were in need. Thank you for your counsel on all things in life big and small, I will always treasure your advice and motto- ‘live your life, the way you want to live it’. I will miss our chats over the kitchen table, reflecting on those special childhood mornings sharing marmite on toast and Milo whenever we had a sleepover. Thank you for always being a welcoming presence and opening your heart to all people you met in your life. You’ll always be the Midvalley celebrity, saying hello to everyone when down the street. I loved that you bonded with Ant over all things footy, being mad bombers supporters . Rest easy Nan with Pop, Love Kim and Ant.

  21. Our beautiful Nan was a woman whose love wrapped around all of us steady, warm, and always there when we needed it. She had a way of making every person in the room feel seen, supported, and cherished. No matter what was happening in our lives, Nan was the one we could count on, offering comfort, encouragement, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from a life lived with a full and generous heart.
    One of the greatest joys of my life is the special bond she shared with our children, her great-grandchildren. The house would be filled with laughter as she put the music on, turned it up just a little too loud, and danced around the room with them, carefree and full of joy. Those moments were pure magic, the kind of memories that stay with you forever. She was their biggest supporter, their biggest cheerleader, always ready to clap, encourage, and celebrate them, no matter how small the achievement.
    Though our hearts ache with her absence, there is comfort in knowing she is back with Poppa the love of her life. I can picture them together again, hand in hand, dancing just as they used to. Two souls reunited, moving together in perfect rhythm.
    Nan’s love was a gift to all of us, and her spirit will live on in every laugh, every dance, and every moment of joy she inspired. She will be missed beyond words, but she will be remembered with endless love.

    All our love always,
    Bec, Special Ben, Matt, Ella and Keely xx

  32. “You can have money or love you cannot be greedy, so when it comes to life I’m pretty rich” ~ Nana La La.
    Memories will come a flood us all with sorrow, of moments we shared as we laughed, we loved and we cried. But I take great pride that you were my Nana and I was your “little sonny”
    I’ll be forever grateful for the time I shared with you in my years, the time you got to spend with Tali and the children.
    I would love for one more back scratch before drifting off to sleep, a morning Milo as you lay reading and pops gone off to work, or one more coffee and biscuit before cricket training,
    I promise not to be sad for long as we should all find peace that your dancing in the headlights of heavens highway with Pop off to catch up with your lost loves,
    Forever a special lady, forever a fantastic Nana
    Until the kettles on lots of love Andrew, Tali, Connor, Logan, Brantley and Addielynn. XxX

  34. Margaret, The light in your bedroom ,the one you could not sleep without after losing Neil is extinguished now forever. The glance at your house as we drove past in the dark to see the light in your bedroom, the flicker if the TV, and the other lights come on as you started your day, meant all was ok in your world. Now forever dark. People will come and go but to us that corner will now never be the same. That corner or should I say Radford corner will always that for us. Rest in peace with Neil..
