So sad to say farewell to the person who was like a second mum to me when I was a teenager.

You and Eddie were two of the nicest and most patient people Ive ever known. Glad the 2 of you will be reunited.

You will always be in my thoughts.

God Bless
Joy and family xx

Nanny, big Nanny, our Queenie.

A piece of my heart will always be with you, and I know a piece of your heart will be with Baby Buck.

I know in my heart you will be looking down on us, guiding and protecting us with Grandad by your side.

We are looking forward to telling baby all about you.

Thank you for treating Theo and Fearne as one of our own and accepting them to be a part of our crazy family.

Love and miss you forever and always ❣

Kylie, Jason, Theo, Fearne & baby Buck
