    The story came to an end this morning. After her broken hip, heart attack, pacemaker and various infections, this morning, my Nan passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was 92 - a ripe old age for a stubborn old bird. She will be missed. :'(

    Oh, EJ, so sorry to hear of her passing. She did have a long life and I know if the rest of the family is like you, she had lots of wonderful kids, grandkids and great grandkids to make it a joyous life.

    I am very sorry of your loss. ***hugs*** I am sure your nan had a wonderful life with all the years she lived. She had you, her children, grandchildren and others. Not to mention all she seen and done in her life is one well lived.

    I choose to think she has just left here, now starts a whole new adventure in her being. Sympathy wishes to you and your family. ***hugs again***

    So sorry to hear of her passing. What a peaceful way to go. I think all of us wish that we would just go to sleep... From you telling us about her, it is plain to see she had a good life with many loved ones around. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

    Thanks all. The funeral will be on Thursday afternoon. Kidney failure is what got her in the end. I guess now she is with her son, my dad. :(

    The funeral went well, as well as funerals go. I don't go into the chapel, didn't even for my dad. I see the car arrive, say my goodbyes, and then take a stroll around the garden of rememberance. It was lovely to see all of my dads family, a shame it wasn't under happier circumstances. I have told the family that there are to be no more funerals, so they had all better started eating their bran!! :) Thank you for your kind words.
