Auntie Pearl you will forever be in our hearts. May you rest in peace. All our love Emma, Dean and Olivia xxx

With deep condolences to the family and my love to You all Chris x

Thinking of you Ellie and your family x

My Pearly, Thank you for many years of memories and treating me like your own. Your sense of humour will be missed, but thankful you passed that onto Clare and Ellie. Your legacy will continue and for that I am very grateful to be apart of. Till we meet again. Sleep tight, God-bless xx

Nan was unbelievably compassionate. Her heart and her generosity knew no bounds. Her door was always open - literally. She rarely locked it.

Nan was always thinking of others before herself. She never wanted us to be sad and would do anything to cheer us up. Even in the hospital she used her wit, jokes, and humour to get us smiling and laughing.

Now some of you would say that Nan was strong. Others might refer to her as determined. Some may even go as far as “Stubborn”. But if you asked her, she would say, “I am not stubborn, I am Independent!” And independent she was. If she had a viewpoint and a perspective on a given topic, nothing you could do or say would alter that. She would budge but only when she was good and ready, and on her terms. One of her last words were ‘I’m chief’.

There are many memories Nan and I have together. Some of my favourite memories is our holiday to Florida as a family. Our weekly trips to Lewisham market where Nan would barter on the fruit and veg stall. Our weekly Saturday shopping trips where Nan would always treat me. Our holiday to Lapland, what 70 year old would throw herself down an ice slide ending up backwards, Nan was game for anything. These are memories I will always cherish, and hold close.

The support I have received from Nan throughout my 24 years has been truly amazing. I can’t recall an event of mine in which she wasn’t there. She was always there to support and cheer me on.

I hope someday I become half the women she was. People like my Nan are one in a million. Anyone who was around Nan knew of her generosity, work ethic, humility, and selflessness.

So let us celebrate Nan’s life and continue her legacy. Thank you Nan. I love you, and will miss you.

Ellie, Our thoughts are with you & your family during this difficult time.
