“The world lost an amazing soul this morning. I'll never forget playing under her coffee table, the box of old army figures that she kept around for us, the traditional breakfasts after a sleep over, listening to her talk about growing up in England, her giving lessons on how to be a proper lady, her hugs with loud kisses right next to your ear and how amazingly kind she was to absolutely everyone, even when they didn't deserve it. I'm so thankful to have known her, to have had her for so long, and will miss our Granny very much.”
