Granny, What can I say that hasn't already been said countless times by others. Towards the end of your life you looked quite in poor condition, it was heartbreaking, but I want you to know that's not how I, nor anyone else will remember you. We'll remember you for the joy you brought everyone around you, the humor you carried with you into any situation, the sound of your laughter at one of your own jokes. I'll remember the woman who would always take her teeth out when I was young just to try to spook me, I'll remember the time that, while my parents were somewhere else, you took the opportunity to teach my siblings and I "Yellow Car", a game in which I still often bother Dad with. Nothing ever could have prepared me for losing you, I knew for a while it was going to come soon but it was still so unreal, even know it's still unbelievable. I'll miss you forever Granny, you meant the world to so many. I love you.
Rest in peace dear Andrea A beautiful, caring lady; you always reminded me of my Mum (your Aunty Bernie) who always thought the world of you. Thoughts and prayers. Cousin John also sends his deepest sympathy. Love Catherine (cousin)
