You were the best, nicest and kindest Mum to Lynn and Steven and the most caring (and craziest) Nanna to Malcolm, Debbie, Donna and Nathan and would have loved great-grandkids Joshua, Ashton and grandkids Maddy & Harry who you sadly never met :(

Taken away unexpectedly, we never had the chance to say goodbye :( hope we gave you the send off you deserved

What more can we say...sadly, sadly missed, the family is not the same without you, never forgotten and always in our hearts, loved and missed always (esp by ur fave daughter and 2 older grand-daughers - girl power hahahaha) we will find u a nice grave soon, we're workin on it ;) always in our hearts xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett

"Happy Birthday Hannah"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?

Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.

Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.

The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.

No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Grandmother of yours.

Nanna's Fave Hymn

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

Miss and Love you tons Nanna xxxxxxxxxxx

She Is Gone!

This is the poem i chose for Nanna's funeral.

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she’d want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Love you always xox

Donna
