She is loving it as iknew she would and is very bright! I'm sure you know that we are also looking after Birdie at the moment which Freya is loving - but she never leaves him alone!! Grumpy grandad is in the IOM at the mo and will be back soon. I think he will be moving in with us soon too - i hope so anyway! Speak to you again soon love you xxxx

Nanna, i really miss you. I miss phoning you if i need a question answering that only you will know. The way that you were so organised, if i needed an address, a telephone number, or someone to look after my savings. I miss coming to visit you and grandad, the house is so quiet now your not there. We have sorted through your things and i have kapt a few items. You jewellry holder, a dolphin jigsaw (which i cant believe youve never done!!) a few (quite trendy) dresses!! I know your with us all the time but its just not the same. Love you always xxxx

POEM CONTINUED
Jessica Brookes
31 October 2011
and videos of how we all used to play
Signing your visitors book before we leave,
Of how we spent our time,
Where we’d been and what we’d done,
How could we decline?
I loved spending time with you,
Doing puzzles together on your couch,
Watching you do your cross stiches,
Id’ sometimes prick my finger ‘ouch!’
Your always there for all of us,
Like helping mum decorate all our homes,
Sleeping on camp beds in the pub at night,
And watching all your grandchildren grow,
Been there for me when moving into my first flat,
To make sure I was ok,
I am grateful for all you’ve done for me
Every single day,
Your such a wonderful lady,
Never judged us or said ‘told you so’ or ‘why’
A tower of strength to all of us,
If we needed help or just a cry,
We all know how much you love your sport,
Like Wimbledon, and rugby league,
Watching every game without fail,
Wigan Warriors is your team,
Nanna you’re our absolute hero,
Proud to have your blood running through our veins,
No one else could ever compete,
Or ever be the same,
Your like a second mum to us,
Taught us many skills for life,
You’ve cared for me so I’ll care for you,
It would be my honour and delight,
Just remember this nanna,
Whenever you may feel sad,
I will be there for you and grandad always
Through the good and the bad,
I think ive gone on long enough,
So I’ll bring this to an end,
I have so much respect for you,
Nanna you’re my inspiration, Nanna your my friend xxxxxxx

Nanna! Your such a popular girl! Look at all your messages and candles!! If you're wondering who Sam Ord is, its one of my good friends from work. She has been there for me a lot lately to help me. She's been great. Well your funeral is coming up this Thursday and I am nervous about it. I will be reading your poem out that I wrote you. Its on here too but it's not all fit on! Grandad says that I have to time myself reading it and if it's longer than 3 hours to cut it down! Haha. Still think about you always love you xxxx

Lauren
29 October 2011
Hello Nanna..
Its Lauren. Missing you so much. Your all I can think of recently and everything seems to remind me of you. Mum and Freya are eating ready salted crisps now, and ive just said ''Nanna's favouites''.
Its a strggle to watch everyone deal with this in their own ways, but weve all got to keep strong for eachother- espically you. Just hope wherever you are, youre keeping an eye on us all and guide us through our lives. I know you will be anyway. Mums been seeing seagulls-maybe its you? You always said you wanted to come back as one. So you can fly around keeping an eye on everyone :-)
My birthday tomorrow and I know that you will be sending me birthday wishes. Its just going to kill me without seeing your name in the card.. shouldn't be like this. You should still be here with us all. Going to a halloween party tonight as well. Going enjoying myself with my friends and try not to cry. Going to keep myself going because thats pretty much what helps me.
Missing you soooo much,just want you back..
hope to see you again soon Nanna, words cant describe how much of an inspiration you are to me and the whole family. Your a star, angel and my Nanna. You will never be forgotten and the memories youve left with me, I shall remember them forever.xxxxxx

POEM FOR NANNA
Jessica Brookes
28 October 2011
When I was a little girl,
Maybe 2 or 3,
We came to live with you and grandand,
Mum, Ben and Me,
What precious memories I have of that time,
So Many I can remember,
From family parties and holidays,
to Christmas in December,
Singing Christmas carols on your table top,
Helping decorate your tree,
Loading your dishwasher with those tablets,
And helping with your contact lenses so you could see,
I remember your big piano,
And how brilliantly you could play,
And you letting me feed your goldfish,
Every other day,
You had your favourite programmes,
Which I can remember as a child,
Neighbours, Knots Landing, Emmerdale and Dallas
But ‘the snowman’ drove me wild!
Then there was your caravan,
We all loved going there so much,
That’s a place that holds memories,
For every one of us,
Sandy beach and rocky beach,
Being friendly with the whole site,
Helping to organise the summer fairs,
And playing games like ‘ding dong’ at night,
When I think of all the games
That me and you used to play,
Like mahjong, bollaball, and cards of course,
And jigsaws that would take all day!
The foods I remember you having all the time,
Well, what I can remember most,
Ready salted crisps, wine gums, trifle,
Sweeteners in your tea and best of all cold toast!
Dolphins are your favourite animals,
They are scattered all over your home,
Then there’s all your Birdie’s,
Who would never leave you alone,
Not forgetting the Gee Gee’s,
On the Grand National every year,
You would always pick Horse number 5,
‘my lucky number’ you’d cheer,
Moving to West Felton,
Where you made friends galore,
Being part of the British Legion,
winning floats at the summer carnivals and more,
Going for walks across the Bridge,
And waving at the cars,
Sitting on your balcony at night,
And looking at the stars,
Coming to your house on weekends and holidays
Passing Christina’s forest on the way,
Rummaging around your loft for you,
Looking at old photograph
Nanna
