So much sadness in our family today... our beautiful matriarch and much loved Nana, passed away last night, just a couple of weeks short of turning an incredible 101years old. She may have been tiny in size but her legacy is huge. She was the mother of 4 daughters, had 12 Grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren and has influenced us all so much. She was both sweet, gentle, kind and loving.. as well as being an incredibly strong-willed, smart, funny and pragmatic women. We will all miss her so much, but take much comfort knowing she had such an incredible life, full of so much love! And now she she is back with her beloved Arthur (Pa) and Aunty Diana. #restinpeacenana #thankyouforeverything
