Dear Mavis, I have had the honour of knowing your beautiful daughter and granddaughter Caroline and Jessica. It was such a pleasure to meet you online and listen to your calming and beautiful words. You have left a wonderful legacy in your daughter and granddaughter who both have your loving personality and make me laugh. Thinking of you all today. Xx Nandani.

You were an amazing, loving, strong, funny lady. You always had time for everyone no matter what. Any interaction always involved a smile and a laugh. Nanna was always our biggest supporter, so proud of any achievement, big or small. Thank you for always being there for me when I needed you Nanna, and loving me so much from so far away. There is never enough time spent with the ones you love, but I will forever cherish our memories. I love you so much Nanna, I hope you’re dancing up there with your red lipstick on xxxxx
