Iris, mother to twelve children, nanna to 22 grandchildren and a great nanna to 4 great grandchildren.

As we look back over time, she’s raised us all and I’ll think you will all agree she has done a good job.
But still we find ourselves wondering…..
Did we ever remember to thank her enough
For all she has done for us?
For all the times she was by our sides
To help and support us….
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by her example,
The value of hard work, good judgement
Courage and honesty?
We wonder if we ever thanked her
For the sacrifices she made
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things she did,
We’re thanking her now.
And we’re hoping she knew all along
How much she really meant to us all.


But if I could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true, I’d pray with all my heart for yesterday and you.



But now that she has left us, she’s back in the arms of her true love, our dad.
And we must take comfort in the knowledge that they are back together and watching over us all.
