Dear Nigel and Pat,
I was very sorry to read of your mother's death. She sounds like a lady who would be hard to lose.

I feel lucky to have had the time to get to know her (although wish I had longer). Grandma showed me unconditional love and support and I cherish the talks we had. She always accepted me for who I was and was one person I could truly be myself with. I will always remember the laughs we had and the strength she showed me that I had to carry on. I will sincerely miss her and know that she is in gods' hands. Much love to Auntie Pat and Uncle Nigel (who stood by her the whole way) and to all family and friends who knew and loved Grandma Mavis.
