We have lost a GREAT person and a GREAT grand mother. You will always be in our hearts.
To my dearest darling Nana,
Up in Heaven, high above
I know today you’re with us all,
And sending all your love.
Today we all remember you,
And bid you one last goodbye,
Celebrate the life you’ve had
And maybe have a cry.
You’ll never be forgotten Nan,
I’ll just close my eyes and see,
Your smiling face and feel your love
And you’ll be close to me.
You had such a long life,
So many have so less,
It was your time, the Angels came,
And placed you with the best.
So dear Nana, up above
Although you’re no longer here,
In my heart is where I’ll keep you,
Forever, you’ll be near.
LOVE CHRIS WHYNOT & FAMILY
