A lovely lady.

Lorraine was a beautiful, gentle devoted wife and mother.

A very proud Nan and Great Nan.

I will always be grateful for the support and love she gave me.

Les

 

Mum,

My world will never be the same without you.

More than just a Mum, you were my best friend, my sounding board, voice of reason and greatest support a daughter could ever have.

You taught me to be strong and independent. Which helped me through many tough times.

This one’s the toughest.

Miss you so much

Love you

Jo xxx

 

We still have so much we need to talk about, and we need your support now more than ever before.

You were taken from us far too soon and our hearts are forever broken.

Thank you for everything you taught us about life and living, and everything else you have done for us.

Our lives will never be the same without you.

All the love in the world, forevermore,

Benn and Meika xxxxxx

 

Nan,

the world is a little less beautiful and the stars are a little less bright without you here anymore.

I have to believe that this isn’t goodbye forever but simply see you later.

I will miss you forever.

Love Jaryd and Jess

 

Nan,

I have woken up every morning since you left us hoping it was just a bad dream.

I’m going to miss you so much.

Love Oscar

 

Mum, it is going to take a lifetime for me to believe you are gone. I hope you knew how much you were loved, admired and appreciated.

We will look for you in the ones you loved.

And promise to speak of you often to keep you with us always.

Love Nicole & Les,

 

Nan, you weren’t supposed to leave us yet.

I know you are giving all the snuggles to our little man, your precious great grandson.

We miss you and love you

Tonya and Wade

 

Quiche Lorraine, I’m holding on to the white bunny so you can’t knock it over and make this real.

I love you.

Whitney
