My lovely ivy, it's took some time to write on here because there's so much that I could share . We all have a common story and that is how much love you gave out and how you made everyone feel special . You were one of the few people who truly understood my grief from my mam dying and you always acknowledged her memory when we spoke which made me feel good . You loved all my kids and you were truly proud of them and you became an adopted nanna to Aj and she would often be found sat chatting to you . You used to ring me up at daft o'clock at night with done medical problem or other that you'd looked up on the Internet and usually you'd misinterpreted it ( I dare say it now) but I would never say it to you I used to just smile at the other end of the phone and try to unravel what you had taught yourself of some dubious site lol . I will love and miss you forever my ivy and the day I heard you'd left us a big wound reopened in my heart . On fact to be honest it shocked me just how much it hurt me and set me back . Sleep well my precious lady xxxxxx
