Today, we honor and celebrate the life of a remarkable woman—We called our loving as Mum and my children called her Nana. Words can hardly capture the love, kindness, and wisdom that she brought into our lives. Mum always remembering our birthdays and celebrating every special moment with us. You had a remarkable way of making everyone feel cherished, whether it was through your thoughtful gestures or your presence at every family gathering. What we will miss the most is your beautiful smile, a beacon of comfort and joy in our lives. Your words, always so comforting and encouraging, uplifted us in times of hardship and gave us the strength to persevere. In every trial, you were there, offering love, hope, and the quiet assurance that everything would be alright. Though you are no longer with us physically, your spirit will continue to live on in every celebration, every moment of joy, and every memory we hold dear. We will forever carry your love in our hearts, and you will always be part of who we are. Rest peacefully, dear Mum and Nana Gladys. We love you endlessly and will miss you always. Thomas, Sonia, Jonathan and Joshua
