Hello Mum ♥️😘♥️ Love and miss you but you are reunited with Dad now♥️😘♥️ so rest in peace lot's of cuppa tea's in Heaven always in my Heart with Dad Forever Love Arlene xoxo xoxo

I don’t even know how to start this, because no words feel big enough to hold what you meant to me. You were my best friend. My safe place. From the moment I was born, I felt wrapped in your love — and I know I always will be. Every school holidays I spent with you were the happiest times. I would count down the days until I could be with you. Baking in the kitchen, walking through your garden, watching you care for others without a single complaint. You were always so patient, so gentle, so steady. And you never made a fuss. You kept our world turning. You gave so much of yourself to everyone. And somehow, you still had so much love left for me. I never once felt like a burden. I always felt special, seen, and safe in your presence. You were home to me. You taught me how to live with love and strength. You showed me how to be proud but humble. You taught me that being kind and hardworking matters — even when no one’s watching. I don’t know how to imagine life without you. But I do know that you’re still with me. And I’ll carry you in everything I do, always asking myself, “What would Nana do?” Thank you for everything, Nana. For every hug, every lesson, and every ounce of love you gave us. Rest now, our beautiful Nana. I hope you are enjoying being reunited with Poppa, something you were always looking forward to. Love always, Kayla & Joven 🤍🕊️

Nana you were the best person I know, nana, mum and a best friend to me 💝 As we mourn this great loss we will feel until we meet again. I was so blessed to know you and to watch you over my 43 year life. Life with you has been tremendous instrumental in mine and my children's lives. I'm so happy for you nana 💓 your at peace with all the people you missed so dearly but most of all the loving arms of your Lord and Saviour Jesus. Your faith and love had made you into the most beautiful person I know. You have touched many lives and everyone seemed to love you. Your warmth and goodness was so well known to us all 💖 I know your in the cloud of witnesses that will be cheering us all on now 🕊 Remembering you always Alicia, Xeno and Sage.

Nana, your presence was as comforting as a warm cup of tea – something you always had ready for anyone who visited. You were the heart of our family: kind, selfless, and endlessly generous. Your gentle spirit, warm hugs, and golden heart brought light into all of our lives. You gave without expecting, loved without limits, and always put others before yourself. Whether through quiet acts of kindness or simple moments spent together, you showed us what it truly means to care. There is peace in knowing you are now reunited with Poppa. Together again, watching over us all. Rest peacefully, Nana. You will always be cherished, always remembered, and forever loved.

To the family, I have been so privileged to have known Mrs Watkins for over 36 years. I could never call her Lois even though she tried to get me to. I had too much respect and love to do that. Mrs Watkins, Lois, you were my 2nd mum, I appreciated you always welcoming me to your home and family. May you rest in peace with Mr Watkins. May the family know how highly you are thought of and loved. You will be missed. Love you Mum xxx

Mum what can I say, I can’t believe you have taken dads hand and left. We had such a great week, with lots of banter and laughter. Barry’s gonna miss his race day partner,(coffin dodger as he called you) who always seemed to have picked the winning horse after the race had finished! I feel privileged and honoured to have you as my mum, you will always be the matriarch of our family, you always made sure our large family hung out when ever we could, gatherings were always at yours & dads (home) you always said “at the end of the day, family was the most important thing.” Love you and miss you always Barry & Fiona 💐❤️❤️ P.s. mum who’s gonna weed my garden pots now!

Tribute to Nana Thank you for being the most kind, loving and generous Mum, mum-in-law & Nana….we would feel the embrace of your warmth and humour when we’d arrive in New Zealand, jet lagged & exhausted… instilling a most wonderful sense of ‘coming home’ Your house, central in all our lives was full of chat & laughter, you thrived on producing endless cups of tea, home baking, and delicious meals, each of us felt welcome and special. The very essence of you was acceptance and selflessness, kindness and generosity. You are a legend and I hope we can carry your legacy forward in our daily lives. Thank you for everything you have been, and continue to be in our lives.❤️❤️❤️

Mum you were the most kindest selfless person. You would put everyone before yourself. I’m so heartbroken but I know you are now at peace and being reunited with dad. Forever in my heart till we meet again Lynn, Jack, Selina, Megan and Kimberley and granddaughters partners and great grandchildren
