You showed me love and always made me feel like family. Growing up with you had changed my life, someone special I've always respected and kept in my heart. Although it's difficult to see beyond the sorrow, I know I can look back at the memories growing up with you. You will be dearly missed and you will ALWAYS be "grandmum" to me. Love you always. Families are forever. Xo (Love you Janis)
