Today we said goodbye to the best mum and nan you Today we said goodbye to the best mum and nan you could ever meet.
I hope we did you proud, and your 3 grand babies showed the same strength, love and respect that you helped to teach them.

You even took your Harry Potter obsession to the grave, and I hope that made you smile. 

I hope you are somewhere keeping us all safe, and look after Stuart for me, who told you often how much he loved you as his mother in law.

I will miss you forever, until hopefully I get to be with you, and drive you crazy, yet again
