*sorry about spelling and caps - im brainstorming!*



I spent a lot of time in nans care when i was growing up – my earliest memories of her are just that she was SO much fun and made everything magical. She would always be singing, she would play in the pool and race me doing laps, she would sneak sweetened condensed milk out to the garden and we’d eat it out of the can, she loved to dress up in lavish dresses and beautiful jewellery, and she would always beat me on the sega megadrive. She was young at heart.
She was also the “carer” and was full of empathy –always there for friends, family and even neighbours when they were in need of assistance, or a shoulder to cry on. She spoke often of her time working at the Hospital – and just a few months ago i asked her why she had enjoyed working there so much – and she told me that she loved being able to meet the new patients, share their story and find out all about them and show them care when they needed it the most.
Above all, the most beautiful thing I will always carry in my heart is the amazing relationship between nan and pop. I am in awe of their love; so strong and so devoted – if there was a way to bottle just half their passion then that would be one little tonic that could make us very fortunate!

Nan possessed a will and determination that was so strong that sometimes, it seemed like a powerful energy force all of its own. She had a strength inside her that was mighty, yet a softness also, in her big brown eyes, that was beautiful and very easy to adore.

And she in turn adored us –PASSIONATELY - ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES HER PASSION MAY HAVE BEEN miscommunicated, there is NO DOUBT THAT HER LOVE FOR HER FAMILY WAS PURE AND ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS THE VERY BEST FOR ALL OF US.



There was a leading role, available in this life –
For a woman of strength, a helpful mother,
a fun-loving nanna, and a beautiful wife,
thank you nan, for being the one to play that part
We are blessed - because you loved us
With a ferocious love – from a ruby heart.
